The Tanah Tendean 41 dispute in South Jakarta has finally reached a bright spot. The High Military Court handed down a verdict to the occupying party. The party was proven to have seized the land without rights. This decision ends the uncertainty that has been going on for years and reiterated that this land is an official state asset managed by PT Film Negara (Persero) (PFN).

Legal certainty over the land has basically been in effect for a long time. The Certificate of Use of Rights owned by PFN has been declared valid in the State Administrative Court to the level of cassation and is again strengthened through a civil decision until the Judicial Review stage. The entire series of decisions concluded the same thing that Tanah Tendean 41 belongs to the state and does not belong to individuals.

The criminal verdict against those who occupy land without rights paved the way for the recovery process which was previously hampered. A six-month prison sentence with an eight-month probation provides a stronger legal basis for rearranging and reinforcing the asset.

PFN's Head of Corporate Secretary, Ihsan Chairiansyah said that this legal clarity provides space for PFN to continue the land restoration process in a more targeted manner.

He emphasized the importance of ensuring that all asset returns are carried out in an orderly manner and in accordance with the provisions so that the management of state assets can be carried out with full responsibility.

"PFN will continue to coordinate with relevant agencies to ensure that the recovery of Tanah Tendean 41 takes place optimally and can provide benefits for the development of the creative ecosystem and national cinema," explained Ihsan Chairiansyah in a written statement received Tuesday, November 25.
