JAKARTA - Head of the Legal Bureau of the DKI Regional Secretariat, Yayan Yuhanah, admitted that his party had not been able to follow up on the decision of the Supreme Court (MA) regarding the island H reclamation permit until now.

Yayan said the DKI Provincial Government had not yet received an official decision from the Supreme Court. They don't want to follow up on the decision just by looking at the results on the Supreme Court's website.

"We can say that we cannot make guesses only from the Supreme Court's website without reading the official decision," Yayan said in his statement, Tuesday, September 7.

Yayan admitted that he did not know when the official decision was received. The time for giving a copy of the decision is the authority of the Supreme Court, so the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is still waiting for the verdict to be given.

"We have to wait for the official decision and read the full copy of the verdict before making any further decisions or actions," he said.

Separately, Deputy Governor of DKI, Ahmad Riza Patria, emphasized that his party respects the Supreme Court's decision and will review the decision regarding the reclamation permit. Riza asked the public not to rush in responding to this.

"Reading legal language cannot be piecemeal, it must be complete. Because the consequences are also very large. We ask the public to be patient and not rash in responding to this," he said.

As is known, the reclamation permit lawsuit began when Anies revoked 13 island reclamation permits on September 6 2018, one of which was Island H. PT Taman Harapan sued for the revocation of the island H reclamation permit to the Administrative Court on February 18, 2019.

PTUN won the developer's lawsuit. Anies again fought back by filing an appeal to the PTTUN. PTTUN decided to continue to cancel the decree on the revocation of the reclamation permit for Island H and required Anies to revoke the decree. However, PTTUN did not order Anies to extend the reclamation permit for Island H.

Therefore, Anies and PT Taman Harapan Indah as developers have both filed an appeal to the Supreme Court. The legal process continued, until the Supreme Court finally decided to grant the appeal filed by Anies.

Continuing, PT Taman Harapan Indah submitted a review (PK) to the Supreme Court. Until finally, the PK was granted by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court returned the decision in accordance with the appeal decision which ordered Anies to issue a reclamation permit for Island H.

"Regarding PK, Cancel Judex Juris, Retrial, Reject Lawsuit (CF.JF.PT)," the verdict was quoted as saying from the Supreme Court's website.

The Judex juris that was canceled in this case was the decision at the previous Supreme Court level, which was the Cassation, which won Anies' side.

The case number 84 PK/TUN/2021 was knocked by the chairman of the Supandi assembly with assembly members Yulius and Yosran. The substitute clerk is Teguh Satya Bhakti.
