The court stated that Petunthan's representatives had requested a 15-day extension on July 29th, citing ongoing evidence collection and incomplete materials. After deliberation, the Constitutional Court voted 5-4 to grant a final extension to August 4th. If Petunthan fails to submit defense materials within the stipulated deadline, it will be deemed a waiver of her defense, and the Constitutional Court will proceed with the trial in accordance with the law.
