The Constitutional Court unanimously decided not to accept the petition accusing Anutin of serious ethical violations and constitutional breaches for allowing the use of a public road for aircraft takeoff and landing, noting that the petitioner submitted a repetitive case without new substantial evidence.
4 Feb 2026 GMT+7 The Constitutional Court made a unanimous decision and ordered not to accept the petition for consideration. In the case where Mr. Niyom Nopparat (the petitioner) requested the Constitutional Court to consider and rule under Section 213 of the Constitution on matters related to the performance of duties by Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul (the respondent). While holding the position of Minister of Interior, he used his official authority to permit the use of a public road as a runway for aircraft takeoff and landing to support the business activities of a private company. The question was whether this act constituted a serious breach of ethical standards and conflicted with Sections 160 (4) and (5), 219, and 235 of the Constitution.
The Constitutional Court considered that the petitioner had previously submitted a similar petition to the court. The court issued Order No. 90/2568 dated 27 August 2025 and Order No. 98/2568 dated 17 September 2025, both rejecting the petition under Section 213 of the Constitution because the petition did not meet the criteria under the Constitutional Court Procedure Act B.E. 2561 (2018), Sections 46 and 47 (2). This petition does not present any new substantial matters beyond the previous petition already rejected by the court. Therefore, it is not a matter suitable for consideration under Section 46, paragraph three. Consequently, the petitioner cannot submit this petition under Section 213 of the Constitution.
