Charnchai Likhitjittha became president of
the Supreme Court in 2005 and retired from
the post last month after turning 60. But
he worked as a senior judge at the Thon Buri
Civil Court up till last week.
Born on April 25, 1946, Charnchai graduated
from Thammasat University’s Faculty
of Law. He was made deputy director-general
of the Southern Bangkok Civil Court in 1995,
and a Supreme Court judge in 1998. He became
president of the Appeal Court Region 1 in
2003 before being appointed deputy president

While deputy Supreme Court president, Charnchai
was selected as a judge in the court’s
Criminal Division for Holders of Political
Positions to consider the case against the
National Counter-Corruption Commission (NCCC)
for malfeasance after they issued a regulation
increasing their own special allowances. He
was one of the three minority judges who found
the commissioners not guilty, saying they
had no intention to commit an illegal act.
