Kowit ruling on Monday

A court decides on Monday if it will halt former police chief Kowit Watana's transfer to a civilian post as chief internal-security adviser in the Prime Minister's Office.
Police Commission panel chairman Lt-General Amnuay Ditthakawee said the Central Administrative Court would hear arguments on two issues, whether the transfer order given by Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont was final and whether Kowit had been properly informed of it before it took effect.Amnuay did not know if Surayud would appear at the injunction hearing. Kowit's counsel Narin Wongthai will make statements on behalf of his client, who will not appear. Narin will allege Kowit was transferred from his police post without his "mandatory mutual consent".
