Sultan Hotel Lawyer: Currently No One Has Lost, Dispute Object Conditions Are Still The Same

JAKARTA - The Panel of Judges at the Central Jakarta District Court decided that the lawsuit against PT Indobuildco's law against the Secretariat cs was declared unacceptable (NO). On the other hand, the State Secretariat cs's lawsuit against PT Indobuildco was also declared unacceptable (NO).

Lawsuit (PM) Case No. 667/Pdt.G/2024 between PT Indobuildco vs. Sekneg cs. declared unacceptable (NO/Niet Ontvankelijke Verklaard) because it lacks a party, namely the Minister of Finance as the party with the most interest in matters of compensation by the state.

Likewise, the Sekneg cs lawsuit against PT Indobuildco was also declared unacceptable (NO).

"This means that there are no parties who lose this," said PT Indobuildco's attorney, Hamdan Zoelva, in a written statement, Tuesday, June 25.

Apart from that, continued Zoelva, PT Indobuildco does not agree with this decision.

"Because in our opinion this lawsuit is a lawsuit against the law where the Minister of Finance does not have any role related to the request for renewal of HGB No.26 and HGB No.27 belonging to PT Indobuildco," said Zoelva.

"This NO decision shows that the panel of judges has not been able to accept material assessments from the parties on the subject of the lawsuit related to ownership of the Sultan Hotel land and whether the Secretary of State has committed an unlawful act as alleged by PT Indobuildco," he explained.

Hamdan Zoelva explained, as a result of the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court, both parties, both PT Indobuilco and Setneg cs, are still in the same position.

"Thus, the position of both parties related to the dispute object was still the same before the case occurred, PT Indobuildco still controlled and owned the Sultan Hotel land based on HGB No. 26 and HGB No.27," he said.

Hamdan added that even though the lawsuit was declared unacceptable or NO, the provisional decision in this case, which was an arbitrary decision (uivoorbaar bid vorraad), was maintained.

"The provisional decision in this case, which is Uivoorbaar bij vorraad, is maintained, which ordered the Secretariat cs not to take any action in the Sultan Hotel area until this case has permanent legal force (inkrah)," he said.

After the decision of the Central Jakarta District Court, the parties were then given the opportunity to file an appeal to the High Court.

"This means that the parties are given room to seek justice in a higher court related to claims on the Sultan Hotel land," said Zoelva.
