Rp119 Trillion Plaintiff Writes to Judicial Commission

Jakarta, VIVA - To promote judicial integrity in the trial process of the verdict for the civil lawsuit worth Rp119 trillion, PT Citra Marga Nusaphala Persada Tbk (CMNP) has officially written to the Judicial Commission (KY). They are requesting strict supervision ahead of the hearing for the verdict on the Rp119 trillion civil lawsuit, which is scheduled for tomorrow. This was conveyed by PT CMNP through a letter numbered 226 DHU.HK.03/1V/2026 addressed to the Chairman of the Judicial Commission (KY) of the Republic of Indonesia (RI). The letter was personally signed by the President Director of PT CMNP, Arief Budhy Hardono, with copies to the Chief Judge of the Central Jakarta District Court and the law firm Lucas and PARTNERS. “In order to uphold the honour and maintain the dignity of the judiciary, which always upholds honesty and justice, through this letter we request the Honourable Mr Chairman of the Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia and all his staff to provide protection and supervision, as well as to closely and comprehensively monitor the examination of case No. 142/Pdt.G/2025/PN.Jkt.Pst. until the decision is made by the Panel of Judges,” he said, quoted on Tuesday, 21 April 2026. PT CMNP is pushing for judicial integrity in the trial process of the verdict for the Rp119 trillion civil lawsuit due to concerns over reports in several media outlets that are deemed capable of influencing the judges’ objectivity. Furthermore, they assess that supervision from an external institution like the KY is crucial amid the magnitude of informational pressures. According to them, this aims to ensure that the Panel of Judges remains steadfast in adhering to the corridor of judicial ethics in making decisions. “Therefore, we request the Honourable Chairman of the Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia to consistently provide protection and strict and comprehensive supervision over the course of the examination process until the decision is made,” he stated. In addition, they hope that the Panel of Judges can decide the case in question by firmly holding to the principles of objectivity, independence, impartiality, and judicial integrity as stipulated in Item 4 Paragraph (1) and Item 4 Paragraph (3) of the Joint Decree of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the Chairman of the KY of the Republic of Indonesia No. 047/KMA/SKB/IV/2009 & 02/SKB/P.KY/IV/2009 on the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Judges’ Conduct.
