Khon Kaen Police Reject 'Pa Da' Request to Delay Case Submission
Key points
- Police in Khon Kaen have denied a request from Ms.
- Chommanee 'Pa Da' Noichan to postpone her case submission to the public prosecutor until December.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, the Khon Kaen City Police Superintendent has rejected a request from Ms. Chommanee 'Pa Da' Noichan and her associates to delay the submission of their case to the public prosecutor until December. The group, who are facing legal proceedings following an incident involving the blocking of an entrance to Wat Pa Adulyaram, had sought the extension through their legal representative, Mr. Anantachai Chaiyadech.
The police superintendent deemed the requested delay excessive, granting only a 15-day extension. Consequently, the individuals involved are now required to report to the public prosecutor by November 2, 2026. Mr. Anantachai publicly noted the development via social media, questioning the group's request for a delay given their previous public statements regarding the matter.
For residents and visitors in the Khon Kaen area, this development marks a procedural step in a local legal dispute. While the case involves a specific incident at a temple, it highlights the ongoing enforcement of legal timelines by local authorities. It remains to be confirmed whether the accused will comply with the new November 2 deadline or if further legal maneuvers will be attempted. Observers should monitor local updates for any changes to the scheduled appearance at the prosecutor's office.
