Legal Representatives of Cisumdawu Toll Land Heirs to Report Sumedang District Court to KPK

The government faces a policy dilemma with no truly comfortable option. The government faces a policy dilemma with no truly comfortable option. The legal representatives of the heirs to land for the Cisumdawu Toll project (Cileunyi-Sumedang-Dawuan) plan to report the Sumedang District Court in West Java to various judicial oversight bodies up to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). This step follows the Sumedang District Court’s decision to disburse compensation funds (consignment) to another party amid an ongoing legal process. The heirs’ legal representative, Jandri Ginting, regrets the Sumedang District Court’s action in issuing the fund disbursement to PT PR and its owner with initials HD. According to him, this action undermines the supremacy of law because the second judicial review (PK) is still underway at the Supreme Court (MA). “We deeply regret the Sumedang District Court’s stance. It is clear that the second PK is still ongoing at the Supreme Court and not yet resolved. Why did the Sumedang District Court dare to disburse those funds?” Jandri said in his statement on Wednesday (8/4). Jandri emphasised that his clients still hold nine disbursement determinations and nine official cash cheques issued by the Sumedang District Court. To date, these legal products have never been revoked or withdrawn by the court. He suspects the involvement of certain individuals and interests behind the fund disbursement, which he considers not to follow clear legal procedures. Therefore, his side will immediately pursue formal legal channels. “We will report this matter to the Supreme Court Supervisory Body (Bawas), the High Court, and up to the KPK. We suspect there are fund flows to certain parties,” he asserted. WITHOUT NOTIFICATION In line with that, the heirs’ representative, Roni Riswara, admitted to being shocked upon learning that the compensation for the land in Blok Pasirkancang, Cilayung Village, Jatinangor Subdistrict, had been disbursed without any notification to his side. In fact, his side had submitted the second PK, which was sent to the MA on 31 December 2025. “We have nine disbursement determinations that are legal products. Those should be cancelled first if there is any change. We suspect there is a legal mafia practice in this case, and we will continue to advance to eradicate it,” Roni said. Meanwhile, the heirs’ legal advisor, Dedi Supriadi, called for serious attention from the central government, including the President and the Attorney General’s Office, regarding the mess in disbursing people’s rights. He views the unilateral fund disbursement amid an ongoing legal process as a serious violation. “This is an action that harms the people’s rights. We will soon report the individuals involved, including if there are indications of court leadership involvement,” Dedi said. CLARIFICATION FROM PN On the other hand, the Public Relations Officer of the Sumedang District Court, Elih Sopiyan, provided clarification that the court could not possibly take steps without a basis in applicable legal rules. He emphasised that in legal procedures, filing a PK does not automatically suspend execution. “Actually, in legal terms, a PK does not suspend execution. So once there is a decision, it is handed over. However, due to the leadership’s caution, it was considered first. Regarding Haji Dadan, although he is a defendant (in another case), in this civil case, he may have rights based on the existing calculations,” Elih said.
