The court ruled that their actions were lawful.
Ms Yingluck filed the lawsuit on Sept 29, accusing Mr Trakul, Chutichai Sakhakorn, Surasak Treerattrakul and Kittinan Thatpramuk of malfeasance under Section 157 and failing to properly perform their duty in the justice system in violation of Section 200 of the Criminal Code.
She said the attorney-general and the three other prosecutors failed to properly examine all evidence and witnesses to clarify contentious points against her, including allegations of corruption and dereliction of duty, as required by the law on criminal procedures against holders of political office.
Ms Yingluck also accused the prosecutors of submitting an additional 60,000 pages of documents for inclusion in the case, saying the documents had not been inspected by the joint panel of National Anti-Corruption Commission members and public prosecutors who finalised the case.
The court said Ms Yingluck’s accusations were not backed up by solid evidence, only extracts from news media which were unofficial. It added that the prosecutors had properly complied with the law on criminal procedures against holders of political positions and related regulations.
Although the court is required to adhere mainly to the NACC report, it is authorised to call for more witnesses to testify or more documents for consideration, and the defendant has the right to do the same for the defence.
The court found that the prosecutors had not mishandled their duty and had no intention to persecute the defendant, and ordered the dismissal of Ms Yingluck’s lawsuit.
