Substance of Anwar Usman's PTUN Lawsuit

The substance of the lawsuit contains four main points. First, to grant all claims submitted by the plaintiff. Second, to declare the Constitutional Court Decree No. 17 of 2023 concerning the Appointment of the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court for the 2023-2028 Term invalid or null and void. Third, to require the defendant to revoke Constitutional Court Decree No. 17/2023 issued on November 9, 2023. Fourth, to demand that the defendant restore and reinstate the plaintiff's position as Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court for the 2023-2028 period as it was before the dismissal.

According to reports from the website sipp.ptun-jakarta, the trial process by the panel of judges of the Jakarta PTUN resulted in an interlocutory decision on Wednesday (31/01/2024). The essence of the interlocutory decision is the rejection of the intervention request submitted by Prof. Denny Indrayana and the Nusantara Advocate Movement as well as the Indonesian Democracy Defense Team.

One of the lawyers from Prof. Denny Indrayana's side, namely M. Raziv Barokah, confirmed that the Jakarta PTUN's interlocutory decision rejected the intervention request submitted by Prof. Denny Indrayana. He stated that his party was disappointed with the interlocutory decision, especially since Prof. Denny was one of the parties who reported Anwar Usman to the MKMK since August 2023. Barokah stated that Prof. Denny actually has a strong legal basis in this case.

Although the postponement request was not accepted, Raziv firmly stated that his party would continue to oversee the case relentlessly. He also committed to praying for the success of the Honorary Council of the Constitutional Court (MKMK), the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, and other MKMK members to be given ease and strength in facing the lawsuit from Anwar Usman.
