Court orders temporary injunction for Indian businessman

BANGKOK, March 15 (TNA) - Bangkok's Civil Court has approved a temporary injunction to an Indian businessman, Sathit Segal, from being deported from Thailand and has fixed the trial date on May 26, 2014. The court issued the temporary injunction to sathit on Friday, prohibiting Caretaker Prime Minister and Defence Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Caretaker Labour Minister retired Police Captain Chalerm Yubumrung, in his capacity as Director of the caretaker government-run Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO), and the board of Immigration Division, which are the first to third defendants respectively, on attempts to deport Sathit on charges of delivering speeches on the anti-government People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC)'s stages and violated the emergency decree enforced by the CMPO in all areas in Bangkok and some areas in peripheral provinces. Sathit has stood firm that he did not violate the emergency decree. In giving the temporary injunction, the Civil Court reasoned that the plaintiff has entered Thailand since he was five years old and received a resident permit when he was 21-year-old, and that Sathit, now 70 years old, has been performing good deeds beneficial to the country on various occasions. The Civil Court has earlier prohibited the CMPO from limiting constitutional rights of anti-government protesters as long as rallies are held peacefully. (TNA)
