The Constitution Court has ordered academics to resubmit their petition seeking a court order to suspend the rice mortgage scheme, saying they failed to specify which section of the charter their request was being submitted under.

As a result, the petition was not in line with the court’s regulations on methods for consideration and judicial ruling, Pimol Thampitakpong, the court’s head spokesman, said on Monday.

The petitioners had been told to revise their petition and resubmit it to the court, he said.

The Thailand Development Research Institute predicts the government rice policy could cost the country 112.5 billion baht (3.6 billion dollars) in rice sale losses this year. Perhaps the Cabinet needs a little help from Primary School children in guiding the country's economy.

orange and android - the petition is not groundless, they were ask to modify and resubmit it. Big deal. Of course, to you guys that must mean the rice scheme is vindicated. Work on your reading comprehension.

The academics and the lawyer representing these petitioners don't know what they should be doing! Like a group of children in the playground having fun.

I understand the court today rejected the petition, apparently it's groundless.

Well it was expected if we are honest.We all know it is wrong and wide open to corruption but nothing else.The government can do what it likes and it likes to look after itself and pass on the cost to taxpayers.
