Cipta Jaya wins land in high court

JAKARTA: The High State Administrative Court in Medan, North Sumatra, has overruled an earlier ruling by a lower court and declared PT Cipta Jaya Raya the rightful owner of the Right of Land Exploitation No.2/1994 for 1,300 hectares of land in Labuhan Batu.

The team of judges, chaired by Mrs. Emin Aminah Achadiat and including Benjamin Mangkoedilaga and Sofyan Abbas, accepted the appeal filed by PT Cipta Jaya against the decision made in June by the State Administrative Court.

The verdict, a copy of which was made available to The Jakarta Post yesterday, annulled the earlier decision by the lower court in Medan which granted the land title to PT Indo Sepadan Jaya.

Earlier in August, the Rantau Prapat district court in N. Sumatra had also accepted PT Cipta Jaya's civil law suit against PT Indo Sepadan regarding the same land title. (vin)
