Jakarta High Court gets new chief

JAKARTA (JP): Chief Justice Sarwata installed I. Gde Sudharta
as head of Jakarta High Court on Monday, replacing Slamet
Riyanto.

The installation ceremony was held at the City Hall.

Sarwata said the replacement was aimed at improving the
performance of the court.

He called on the new high court chief to remain objective in
his judgment and not declare suspects to be guilty with too much
ease.

"To meet the people's desire for objective behavior, let's not
jump to blame others. We have to continually be introspective,"
he said in his speech. (ivy)
