Internet Quota Expiry Case: Constitutional Court Deems Petition Unclear
The Constitutional Court (MK) has stated that case number 87/PUU-XXIV/2026, a material examination of Article 71(2) of Law No. 6 of 2023 on Job Creation concerning the expiry of internet quotas, is unclear or obscure (obscuur).
In the considerations read by Constitutional Court Justice Saldi Isra in the courtroom at MK Building I, Jakarta, on Tuesday, he stated that the petitioner did not elaborate on the legal basis for the Constitutional Court’s authority to review laws against the 1945 Constitution in full, as stipulated in MK Regulation No. 7 of 2025.
In this regard, the petitioner only mentioned Article 24C(1) of the 1945 Constitution and Article 10(1)(a) of the MK Law, adding the sentence “The Constitutional Court functions as The Guardian of the Constitution and The Protector of Citizens’ Constitutional Rights”.
“Likewise, in the section on legal standing, the petitioner only listed five points of conditions for constitutional rights violations without linking them to the substance of the constitutional rights harm,” said Saldi.
Furthermore, in the section on the grounds for the petition (posita), the petitioner did not adequately explain reasons that could demonstrate a conflict between the norm of Article 71(2) of Law No. 6 of 2023 and the basis for examination under the 1945 Constitution.
“Based on the facts and legal considerations of each of the above petitions, there is no doubt for the Court to declare the a quo petition unclear, or obscure,” said Saldi.
Saldi continued, considering that although the Court has the authority to adjudicate the a quo petition, because the a quo petition is unclear or obscure, the Court does not consider the petition further.
Case number 87/PUU-XXIV/2026 concerning the expiry of internet quotas was filed by Rachmad Rofik. At least 31 similar cases are currently being processed at the MK. One of them is number 273/PUU-XXIV/2026, petitioned by Didi Supandi, an online motorcycle taxi driver, and Wahyu Trisna Sari, an online culinary trader.
