Gen Prawit also distanced himself from the court case, saying he never intervened even though one of the defendants, Pol Gen Patcharawat, is his brother. He declined to comment when asked if the court ruling would prohibit any street protests similar to those carried out by the PAD. Concerns have been raised about whether the Supreme Court's acquittal of the four defendants will affect the Supreme Administrative Court ruling. Pol Gen Adul Sangsingkeo, the then police chief, instructed the police force's lawyers to appeal the Central Administrative Court's ruling. Somchai Ngamwongchon, spokesman of the Administrative Court, said Thursday the Supreme Administrative Court had completed its deliberation of the lawsuit.
