Supreme Administrative Court dismisses petition on SenateSenators convene at the TOT Auditorium on Chaeng Watthana Road in Bangkok last month. The Supreme Administrative Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition against their legitimacy. (Parliament House photo)The Supreme Administrative Court on Tuesday dismissed a request for its ruling on the legitimacy of the Senate selection process because the issue was outside its scope. The Central Administrative Court dismissed the petition in March, stating that it was authorised to rule on cases related to the exercise of administrative power between government officials and the private sector or between administrative organisations and government officials. The Supreme Administrative Court stated that it supported the ruling of the lower court because the constitution required the accused to form the Senate selection committee and the case had nothing to do with any issue of constitutionality.
