The South Jakarta District Court threw out on Friday a lawsuit
\nfiled by Dewi Sukarno -- one the wives of founding president
\nSukarno -- over the ownership of a valuable plot of land, and
\ninstead advised her to refile the case.<\/p>\n
\"The court cannot make a ruling as it is not clear whether the
\nplaintiff is suing in her personal capacity or on the behalf of
\nSari Asih Hospital Foundation, which she chairs,\" Presiding Judge
\nZoeber Djajadi told the plaintiff.<\/p>\n
In their decision, the judges said that some of the 25 claims
\nmade by the plaintiff failed to make clear in which legal
\ncapacity she was bringing her claim.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the court said that the foundation's statutes
\nstipulated that only its board of management, which included the
\nchairperson, secretary and treasurer, had the right to represent
\nthe foundation.<\/p>\n
Japan-born Dewi, whose maiden name is Naoko Nemoto, sued 11
\ndefendants over the ownership of 10-hectares of land in the
\ncentral business district at Jl. Jend. Sudirman Kaveling 52-53,
\nSouth Jakarta.<\/p>\n
The defendants included: the Jakarta governor, the health
\nminister, the National Land Agency, PT Danareksa Jakarta
\nInternational, PT Arthayasa Grahatama, PT Danayasa Arthatama and
\nPT Bank Artha Graha.<\/p>\n
Dewi claimed she purchased the land in 1965 and had planned to
\nbuild a hospital on it. But, after fleeing Jakarta in 1967 due to
\nthe political climate, the land was transferred to various
\ninstitutions without Dewi's consent.<\/p>",
