SUITABLE OF LEGAL MEASURES UNDER THE SANGHA ACT B.E. 2505 IN THE EVENT THAT A BUDDHIST MONK IS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH A CRIME

Abstract

This research paper aims to discover recommendations for the appropriateness of legal measures under the Clergy Act B.E. 2562 (1962), in cases where monks are arrested for criminal offenses.

The results showed that in the case of the perpetrator being abbot himself, the culprit was the one who had been killed. In the Clergy Act B.E. 2562, Section 29 was not defined, so there was a gap in the interpretation of the law. Many of the abbots arrested for criminal offenses have no surrenders to control to proceed with the fight. The abbot was then subjected to an implicit abdication of his sexuality. Therefore, section 29 of the Clergy Act B.E. 2562 (1962) should be updated if the abbot commits a criminal offense with a penalty of up to three years in prison. Higher-ranking parents in the hierarchy discussed with the inquiry. When he saw the abbot, he did not flee and messed with the testimony. The investigators deserved to release him on bail and have the high-ranking clergy take abbots to reside in temples they deemed appropriate.
