Supreme Court decision awaited in former DSI chief Tarit’s case

13 Sept 06:40 Key points summarised by AI

The Criminal Court postponed the Supreme Court's verdict for former DSI chief Tarit Pengdit and three officials, who face malfeasance charges.
Tarit sought a Constitutional Court ruling on the legality of Criminal Code Sections 157 and 200, central to the charges against him.
He also requested to withdraw his recent guilty plea, reverting to his original not-guilty stance.
This move marks another attempt by Tarit to delay the verdict, following ten previous postponements granted due to claimed sickness.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to announce its decision on Tarit's motions later today, impacting the immediate future of the long-awaited judgment.
