Court summons left at Shinawatra homes

Ousted premier Thaksin Shinawatra and his wife Khunying Pojaman were officially notified on Thursday to appear at the Supreme Court on August 14.



Because the two are out of Thailand at present, court officials and prosecutors put up two summonses at their homes in Bang Phlat and Dusit districts.

Under court procedures, the two defendants are assumed to have been notified about the summonses after court officials display the documents in plain view at their registered homes.

At Thaksin's Chan Song Lah home on Charan Sanitwong Road, officials tied a summons securely at the gate after no one appeared from his house to answer their call to accept the court document.

The serving of the summons was recorded on videotape and Bang Phlat police duly noted it in their report witnessing the event.

The officials went next to serve another summons at Pojaman's official residence, which is an abandoned shop house, formerly used as a business address when the two started to trade as a computer vendor.

Dusit officials confirmed the address before Pojaman's summons was tied to the gate.

Thaksin and Pojaman are obliged to attend an arraignment session to enter a plea on charges relating to a land deal on Ratchadapisek in 2003. They risk being declared fugitives if they fail to comply with the summonses and do not appear in court.
