Bangkok: An arrest warrant has been issued for "Ajarn Aod" due to his failure to appear as a witness in a defamation case involving "Lawyer Decha". The legal proceedings have taken a new turn as the bail guarantor for Ajarn Aod has been fined and the case has been temporarily dismissed.

According to Thai News Agency, the court had scheduled a hearing for witness testimony between Lawyer Decha, who is the plaintiff, and Mr. Veerachai, also known as Professor Aod, the defendant, in the defamation case. However, the defendant's absence from the court without a reasonable excuse prompted the court to take decisive action. The court issued an arrest warrant for Professor Aod, ordered the forfeiture of the bail guarantor, and temporarily dismissed the case.

Lawyer Decha has disclosed that the court's issuance of an arrest warrant means that police officers across the kingdom are authorized to arrest Professor Aod immediately. The warrant has been disseminated online, facilitating the swift execution of the arrest. Additionally, the court proceedings report indicates evidence of evasion on the part of Professor Aod, necessitating that he pays the imposed fine within 30 days.
