Twice Punishment for the Same Disciplinary Offence (A.7/2557)


According to the general principle of law “Non Bis in Idem”, no one shall be twice punished for the same offence regardless of criminal, administrative, or disciplinary punishment. The punishment instituting twice for the same offence is the restriction on explicit or implied constitutional rights and liberties of individuals more than necessary to maintain the public interest and against Section 29 of Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2550 (2007). Any legal action instituting the twice punishment is against the general principle of law and the Constitution.
