SEMARANG - The judge of the Semarang State Administrative Court (PTUN) held a location trial to prove the truth of the residents' lawsuit against the building permit (IMB) of the Sato Kudus Hotel issued by the Regent of Kudus, Central Java, Monday, June 19.

The location trial chaired by the Chief Justice of the Semarang Administrative Court, Ridwan Akhir, took place at the Sato Hotel, Jalan Pemuda, Kudus. Including in the houses of residents affected during the hotel construction process.

Head of the One Stop Integrated Service Investment Service (DPMPTSP) Kudus Harso Widodo said the location trial was held after the first lawsuit was decided by the panel of judges.

"Previously, it was the residents who sued their houses next to the hotel, while the residents' latest lawsuit was in the north," he said.

The location trial, he said, was to prove the truth of the defendant's report. Meanwhile, the Kudus DPMPTSP as defendant two.

Budi Supriyanto, who became the attorney for Beny Djunaedi, whose house was damaged, allegedly due to the construction of a hotel, admitted that the lawsuit against the IMB issued by the Kudus Regency Government was filed with the Semarang Administrative Court for the second time.

The Semarang Administrative Court's decision for the first lawsuit, he said, was after Beny Gunawan won, but when he appealed at the State Administrative High Court (PT TUN) the Semarang Administrative Court's decision was not accepted.

After undergoing several trials at the Semarang Administrative Court for the second lawsuit, the local examination hearing was continued today (19/6), after the trial of the lawsuit against the hotel IMB filed by his client.

"If there is a violation, the permit should be revoked in accordance with the laws and regulations regarding buildings and regents' regulations. But instead of being revoked, at this time there is a new IMB permit with a seven-story building from the previous five floors," he said.

Whatever the reason for the construction without a commensurate line, he said, should not be allowed.

The IMB Hotel Sato problem was caused by the damage to three residents' houses, even though one resident declared peace. However, family efforts have not yet paid off so that it continues into the court process.
