Wichean Potphosri, one of the committee members, he has withdrawn since Pol. Gen. Surachet Started to appeal the order of dismis
sal from government service due to the past disputes between them.
The appellant, Pol. Gen. Surachet, and the other party, Pol. Gen.

to leave the civil service is lawful, Pol. Gen. Surachet can exercise his right to file a lawsuit with the Supreme Administrative Court within 90 days from the date he is aware of, or is deemed to be aware of, the NCC’s decision.
