JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – State-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina has to hand over a 22,305 m2 land to Ivone Felicia Intan as the Supreme Court declined its cassation.

According to the Supreme Judges, the oil company has failed to submit sufficient evidence to support its claims, among others that the filing of lawsuit has been expired from its dateline.

Pertamina, on its claim, said that Ivone did not have a legal standing to claim the land.

On the verdict trial, the judges also declared that Head of the Central Jakarta Land Office has wrongly issued the land certificate for Pertamina.

“The decision letter of the disputed land was issued with a wrong material substance and judicial procedure,” said Supreme Judges Marina Sidabutar.

With the Supreme Court’s verdict issued on Jun. 25, 2013, Pertamina should hand over ther land ownership to Ivone.

Ivone previously filed a lawsuit to the Central Jakarta Administrative Court. Ivone, claimed as the beneficiary of Raden Harsa Nata Sastra Nagara Djajadiningrat, stated that Pertamina had illegally taken over 22,305 m2 land in Gambir, Central Jakarta. The Administrative Court, then, granted the lawsuit. Pertamina brought the case to the Supreme Court. (indrab@yosefardi.biz)
