Charter Court sets July 10 for hearing on petition against PM Srettha

10 Sept 16:32 Key points summarised by AI

The Constitutional Court has scheduled a July 10 hearing for a petition against Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.
Forty former senators accuse PM Srettha of violating the Constitution by appointing Phichit Chuenban, who previously served prison time for contempt of court, as PM Office Minister.
Srettha faces potential removal from office if the court rules against him, though he insists the appointment was lawful and made after legal consultation.
The court accepted the case against Srettha but decided not to suspend him from duty, while dropping the case against Phichit following his resignation.
