The Central Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit filed against the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) over its allegedly unlawful revision of the bidding terms for the Orange Line's western extension.
The lawsuit was filed by the Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTSC) against MRTA governor Pakapong Sirikantaramas and seven other members of the committee on the Orange Line's western extension from Bang Khun Non to Min Buri for malfeasance in office.
In dismissing it, the court said the revision was done as part of an effort to launch a new bid. The court added the cancellation of the first round had no reason to exclude the plaintiff from the contest.
