BANDUNG — West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi assessed that the polemic over the land of State Senior High School (SMAN) 1 Bandung did not stand alone. He suspected that the dispute at the State Administrative Court (PTUN) contained other interests to control strategic assets in the Dago area.
"This is not purely a lawsuit against SMAN1 Bandung; the land is strategic access, surely many parties are eyeing it," said Dedi as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, April 24. According to him, the regional government can currently only hope for the sense of justice of the panel of judges because "it does not have economic and political access as strong as the plaintiffs."
Dedi promised that the West Java Provincial Government would immediately inventory and certify all regional assets. He admitted that the certification process has been slow because it is considered expensive. "The cost of the certificate is indeed high, but the assets are much more expensive. I ask the asset division to propose a sufficient budget so that all assets can be processed quickly," he said.
The statement came after the Bandung PTUN granted the lawsuit of the Christian Lyceum Association (PLK) in case Number 164/G/2024/PTUN.BDG dated April 17, 2025. The decision canceled the Certificate of Right to Use in the name of the Department of Education and Culture—which had been the basis for land ownership of SMAN1Bandung—and ordered the Bandung City Land Office to issue Building Use Rights in the name of PLK.

PLK registered the lawsuit on November 4, 2024 with the Head of the Bandung City Land Office as the main defendant and the West Java Education Office as the intervening defendant. The judge rejected all exceptions from the defendant and intervening defendant.
Dedi said the provincial government would take further legal steps, including an appeal, while accelerating the certification of other assets so that similar cases do not recur.
