Constitutional Court Delivers 15 Judicial Review Decisions Before Joint Leave Period

Jakarta — The Constitutional Court held a plenary session on Monday to deliver decisions on 15 judicial review cases before the joint leave period for Nyepi and Eid al-Fitr 2026 commenced.

The decision pronouncement hearing was attended by all parties including the petitioners, representatives of the House of Representatives, representatives of the President, and other related parties.

“Today’s agenda is the pronouncement of decisions; there are 15 pronouncements in total,” said Constitutional Court Chief Justice Suhartoyo in the Court’s Plenary Hearing Room in Jakarta on Monday.

Justice Suhartoyo stated that in this decision pronouncement, the judicial panel would only read out the key points rather than the entire decision. However, all legal considerations in each decision are complete and ready to be distributed to the parties after the hearing concludes, or at the latest, if there are corrections, they will be sent to each petitioner’s email within three working days following the pronouncement.

In the hearing, several decision pronouncements were delivered by the panel in consolidated form.

“In the pronouncements delivered together because they share the same essence, particularly the same operative clause, to save time and facilitate understanding of the substance of the respective decisions, we pronounce them jointly or together,” said Suhartoyo.

The first three cases whose decisions were pronounced together were Case No. 47/PPU-XXIV/2026 on judicial review of the Law on Hajj and Umrah Implementation, Case No. 50/PUU-XXIV/2026 on judicial review of the Criminal Code and the Law on Information and Electronic Transactions, and Case No. 56/PUU-XXIV/2026 on judicial review of the Law on State Civil Apparatus.

The Court declared all three cases inadmissible.

Subsequently, three other decisions pronounced together were Case No. 53/PUU-XXIV/2026 on judicial review of the Legal Aid Law, Case No. 54/PUU-XXIV/2026 on judicial review of the Criminal Procedure Code, and Case No. 57/PUU-XXIV/2026 on judicial review of the South Sumatra Province Law.

The pronouncement of these decisions was read by Constitutional Court Deputy Chief Justice Saldi Isra, and the operative clause was read by Chief Justice Suhartoyo, declaring the cases inadmissible.

Subsequent decision pronouncements were read one by one, beginning with Case No. 42/PUU-XXIV/2026 on judicial review of the Law on Limited Liability Companies, the Law on Islamic Banking, and the Law on Financial Sector Development and Strengthening, read by Justice Enny Nurbaningsih.

The operative clause read by Chief Justice Suhartoyo stated a complete rejection of the petition.

The next decision pronouncement concerned Case No. 46/PUU-XXIV/2026 on judicial review of the Bankruptcy and Debt Restructuring Law, declared a complete rejection of the petitioners’ requests.

This was followed by the pronouncement of Case No. 48/PUU-XXIV/2026 on judicial review of the Election Law and the Regional Head Election Law, in which the Court rejected the petitioners’ requests in their entirety as lacking legal merit.

Next was the pronouncement of Case No. 172/PUU-XXIV/2026 on judicial review of the Anti-Corruption Law and the Prosecutor’s Office Law. The Constitutional Court panel stated a complete rejection.

The subsequent hearing involved the pronouncement of Case No. 237/PUU-XXIII/2026 on judicial review of the Law on Hajj and Umrah Implementation. The Court declared a complete rejection.

“The operative clause of the decision is to reject the petitioner’s request in its entirety,” said Chief Justice Suhartoyo.

The next case, No. 106/PUU-XXIII/2026, concerned a judicial review request of the Corruption Eradication Commission Law and the Anti-Corruption Law. The petitioners challenged the constitutionality of the phrase “act of corruption” in Article 1, Clause 1 and Article 6, Letter e of Law No. 19 of 2019.

In the pronouncement for Case No. 106/PUU-XXIII/2026, the Constitutional Court panel declared the case inadmissible and rejected the petitioner’s request.

The next decision pronouncement concerned Case No. 123/PUU-XXIII/2025 on judicial review of the Anti-Corruption Law, in which the Court panel granted the petition in part.

In the operative clause read by Chief Justice Suhartoyo, the Court stated that Article 14 of Law No. 31 of 1999 on Anti-Corruption as amended by Law No. 20 of 2001 amending Law No. 31 of 1999 on Anti-Corruption contradicts the 1945 Constitution and has no binding legal force conditionally, insofar as it is not construed as “excluded if corruption elements are not fulfilled in sectoral laws”.

The pronouncement of Case No. 191/PUU-XXIII/2025 on judicial review of the Law on Financial/Administrative Rights of Leaders and Members of the Highest/High State Institutions was declared partially granted.

The pronouncement of the final case, No. 176/PUU-XXIII/2025, was read by Justice Anwar Usman, marking his final hearing before his term ended on 6 April 2026.

Regarding Case No. 176/PUU-XXIII/2025 on judicial review of the Law on Financial/Administrative Rights of Leaders and Members of the Highest/High State Institutions and Former Leaders of Highest/High State Institutions, the Constitutional Court panel declared the case inadmissible.

“Thus concludes the pronouncement of decisions for the 15 judicial review requests,” said Suhartoyo.

According to the official Constitutional Court website, no hearings are scheduled for 17 March, and the joint leave period runs from 18 to 24 March 2026.
