Ms. Laddala stated that Mr. Kiao, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Wong assaulted her. She reported the incident to the Phaya Thai Metropolitan Police Station and notified the Office of the Public Prosecutor. During this time, Ms. Laddala filed a lawsuit alleging that Mr. Kiao, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Wong conspired to assault and verbally abuse her. The Office of the Public Prosecutor issued an order not to prosecute Mr. Kiao and Mr. Huang individually for the assault of Ms. Laddala. The Court of Criminal Justice considered the case and dismissed the lawsuit, declaring it final. Five days later, the Court of Justice of the Central Region ruled that Mr. Kiao, Mr. Huang, and Mr Wong were sentenced to three months imprisonment and fined. Mr. Kiao and Mr. Huang were also fined. It is anticipated that Mr. Kiao, Mr. Huang, and Mr. Wong will appeal the case to the Court of Justice of the Central Region. They must submit a response. The appeal argues that the Court of Justice of the Central Region should dismiss the case due to the established finding of fault and the fact that the case was deemed a dispute ( ), referencing Comment 1605-1616/2512.
