The Constitutional Court on Friday rejected a petition lodged by the opposition asking it to rule whether suspended Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob violated Section 144 of the constitution, which deals with examining budget expenditure.
A group of 47 opposition MPs, led by Move Forward Party-list MP Pakornwut Udomphipatsakul, had earlier submitted a petition to the court, asking it to rule whether Mr Saksayam violated Section 144 by using his cabinet and House panel status to approve state projects in favour of a company.
