The Central Administrative Court has summoned Public Health Minister Chaiya Sasomsab to testify on Wednesday over alleged contempt of court. The case involves his comments on the court's ruling to grant a temporary injunction against a cabinet resolution to sack six Government Pharmaceutical Organisation (GPO) board members.
The court yesterday issued an order summoning Mr Chaiya to appear in a court hearing on July 2 over his interview remarks that were deemed to be contempt of court.
The minister gave his interview on June 26, one day after the court granted a temporary injunction favouring Vichai Chokewiwat, former chairman of the GPO board and five other former board members who filed a petition with the court against the cabinet's resolution to sack them.
In his interview, Mr Chaiya questioned the justice of the court's ruling and the qualifications of the judges.
Mr Chaiya yesterday denied commenting on the court's ruling. He said he had not yet received a summons. He was willing to testify if summoned by the court, he added.
