The Phetchaburi Administrative Court on Thursday ruled to reinstate Chaiwat Limlikit-aksorn, former head of Kaeng Krachan National Park, as a civil servant after being sacked over his alleged role in the burning of Karen villagers' homes about a decade ago.
The court revoked his dismissal order, issued on April 2 last year by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, with a recommendation from the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC). The reinstatement will have retroactive effect to the day of his dismissal, the court said.
Mr Chaiwat last served as director of Protected Areas Regional Office 9 in Ubon Ratchathani before his dismissal.
