On October 28th, B.E. 2550, at around one o'clock, Mr. S., the son of Miss N. (the Plaintiff), rode a motorcycle along the road until the junction flooded with a height of about 30 centimeters. Given the fact that in that area, the Officials of the Department of Highways (the Defendant) had installed the lampposts to illuminate people passing by; however, the Officials laid the electric wires on the ground all along without burying the wires and the Officials did not inspect the damage of electric wires and other equipment used to be installed, resulting in leakage current and causing Mr. S. to be shocked by electric shock and to be drowned in such area. After that the Department of Highways removed the former electric wires and re-wired by stretching the new electric wires between the lampposts more than 10 meters above the ground, which if the Department of Highways had done in the first place and inspected the damage of the electric wires according to their official duties, this incident would not be taken place. Therefore, Miss N. filed a case with Administrative Court requesting the Department of Highways to pay the compensation owing to the death of her son.
