The Supreme Court accepted Monday to hear the two-and-three-digit lottery case filed by Assets Examination Committee against the Thaksin Cabinet, including former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
The Court's Criminal Division for Political Office Holders announced the decision at about 10am. The initial schedule for the announcement was 2pm.
The court scheduled the first hearing on September 26.
The lawsuit was filed by the now-defunct Assets Examination Committee (AEC) against the Thaksin Cabinet, including Thaksin and 47 former ministers, accusing them of malfeasance for issuing the July 8, 2003 cabinet resolution to implement the two-and three-digit lottery.
Among the accused are three current ministers: Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Surapong Suebwonglee, Labour Minister Uraiwan Thienthong and Deputy Transport Minister Anurak Jureemas.
The Constitution stipulates that a minister has to suspend his duties if a court accepts to hear a criminal court against him. However they argued that the case happened in the previous government.
Learning of the court's decision, Surapong said he would continue working as the finance minister despite the court's decision. On Tuesay, the Council of State would be asked to rule if he could hang on to the position, he said.
