The judge stated that considering the case file belonging to the former Director of the Sumbawa Hospital, he was included in the agenda of the trial at the Corruption Court at the Mataram District Court. The consideration refers to the rule of Article 82 paragraph (1) letter d of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) which states that in case a case has begun to be examined by the district court, while the examination regarding pretrial requests has not been completed, the request has been dropped.
