In 1981, the addition of the State of State Number 3209), is the norm that
has no clarity, precision and consistency in the process of certainty

the doctrine of the law. That the principle of state of law demands that as much
perhaps people know about what is ordered to them
based on legislation, what things are given to them
based on legislation, and behavior what they expect from
officials. The existence of clarity and precision in that legislation
itself became the basis of a clean and free trial of the efforts
conspirative;
3.11. That under the Decree of the Minister of Justice Number M. 14-PW.07.03
in 1983 about the Additional Implementation Guidelines of the KUHAP, the Prosecutor may
apply for cassation for the sake of law, truth, and justice
against the free verdict. Some cases where the public prosecutor
conduct a Cassation effort against the free ruling, such as the case of Ali Mazi and
Pontjo Sutowo, the Muchdi case, the case of Nurdin Halid, the Tommy Suharto case,
11
and this s a free distrauher, indeed in
in this free verdict never mentioned this pure free or unfree
pure. But what is known in the KUHAP is just a free verdict;
Nevertheless, of the analysis of the ruling conducted, including the
Expert do exuination against the free verdict against the case-
the particular case that Not an expert. Name his name, Expert can find
There is a proof process, there is a legal interpretation process and that
causes that verdict to be another one, after the Expert
by using a palm through the science of criminal law, according to the Expert ruling it
should be able to be declared proven. Therefore the free verdict is not
purely this could be derived from its legal interpretation, could be sourced from an assessment
regarding the evidence submitted at the trial and could be sourced from the assessment
regarding the interpretation the application of the law against the evidence submitted at
the trial;
Now how with the legal effort against the free ruling
it is. The expert argued that a pure free ruling that was alabitised to
there was not enough evidence or still lacking evidence or no evidence that
supported towards those elements after being examined in court, according to
The expert does n' t need any more legal efforts anymore. Expert confirms that against
pure free verdict which is indeed in fact he is not enough or still
less proof, nor is there any evidence supporting the fulfillment of the elements
18
it is, this is an expert call for a pure free verdict, then Expert argues
that there is no need for any more legal efforts and it should be accepted that it is
not as a criminal offense because there is no evidence to support it;
Then is the verdict is not pure free. There is a need for legal efforts
casings test about three things:
1. Legal intelligence;
2. The assessment of the evidence submitted at the trial;
3. Assessment of the application's application intelligence to the evidence submitted
in the trial;
According to the Expert that the free verdict is not purely a dispute,
or the difference, or a difference of intelligence, occurring Assessment difference
proof, application, or dispute, or difference regarding application
the law against the evidence submitted in court is reasonable and feasible if
such difference must be resolved by the Court Great. And by the cause
that, in the presence of a case against this impure free ruling, so
The court can give you an affair, or an attitude towards the interpetation
that is, attitudes towards the assessment of the evidence. such and the attitude towards
the application of the law against the evidence evidence in that court;
In giving an interest of the Expert citing Article 253 of the paragraph (1)
KUHAP. The general examination is held in verse (1),
" The examination of the cassation level was conducted by the Supreme Court of the Supreme Court
the requests for the parties as referred to Section 244 and Section 249
to determine ..., in relation to this Section 244 of course other than
free verdict;
a. Is it true that a rule of law is not applied or applied not
as it is?
b. Is it true that the way to trial is not implemented by the law-
invite?
c. Is it true that the court has surpassed the limit of its authority?
According to the Expert if viewing the substance of Section 253 of the paragraph (1) of the KUHAP
, then the free ruling material is not as pure as described
previously was meeting the Supreme Court's cascative examination
19
as article 253 of the paragraph (1) of the KUHAP as it has
Expert is deposited;
The conclusion in this context is the unpure free verdict
is to meet the qualification as set within or specified in
Section 253 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code and therefore is reasonable, and feasible, and
should the free verdict be not purely checked in the Supreme Court;
Whose terms are the who will do the laws of the cassation?
Against the free verdict of course the first one is the accused who is distrauted
free. For reasons of legal and justice certainty, although this is rare,
could be sometime later because he wants legal certainty that he wants
to solve the problems faced in this world to be completed in court.
until the Supreme Court justice. A pious defendant in
the rule of law and he believes in his Lord, then he will seek
the legal certainty in the world. In order to be later in the afterlife he should not be
accounted for, then the possibility of a later date is
The free-distrauted defendant will file a cassation;
Next is the Public Prosecutor, what is the reason? According to the Expert
is a Public Prosecutor could submit a cassation in this context with
the reason "for the sake of legal certainty and justice." Further is representing
the aspiration of the victims of the crime in this regard, in the theory of fictionology that
relates to aspiration as a victim of this crime, symbolically the law
represented by the state and the state has designate his organization in
the court context is by the Attorney General;
If it is in a judicial process, it turns out free,
and free it turns out to be free is not pure, then it is already should be the victim
the crime most suffered the loss caused by such a crime,
could gain access to the Court. But KUHAP until now has not
set it up is reasonable if the Attorney General represents the victims ' aspirations
the crimes in this criminal matter could file a legal effort, namely the attempt
the law in the form of a cassation against the ruling free is not pure;
Then who represents the aspirations of the general interest in which the crime-
certain crimes are in fact no immediate victim, direct victim. By
20
because of that, the Public Prosecutor in this case could represent interest aspirations
in general to apply for a cassation against the free verdict;
Now what is roughly the factor that is behind the occurrence of a
ruling that led to the ruling was not pure. Against the verdict
unpure free there are some possibilities occurring based on the analysis
in practice;
1. It may be sourced from the Attorney General's side, first possible
the prosecutor's instatement in submitting evidence, or making a letter
indictment, or registor;
2. It is possible that the Prosecutor's rejuvenation may not include any specific evidence,
or interpreting the law, or the evidence and application of the law against evidence
in the severing of the law. So there is a possibility of an still lacking;
Next there is the possibility of evidence it is indeed nothing or a no-
not against those elements there is no evidence that could convince the Judge
or the proof that it is legitimate and convincing the judge, the result is that the ruling is to be
free is not pure. Whereas in a free ruling that is not pure, often
occurs formally, the ruling contains the defendant's release from the indictment but
reviewed from its quality to impure due to difference
interpretation the law. So formally she i heck,
then in the Netherlands Netherlands-forming Wetboek van Strafvordering has
provided an explanation for that the free ruling can be felt as
a right the defendant has obtained, then is not to be disturbed.
3. That the reason that has found the formation of the Wetboek van Strafvordering
33
regarding the formation of Article 430 Wetboek Van Strafvordering in
the memory of its explanation, the formation of Article 430 Wetboek van Strafvordering
that is about what is why people cannot submit a request
the cassation examination of the free verdict turns out to be different for the reason
about not being able to be submitted for the examination request for
free verdict, as set in Section 409. Code d' Instrument
Criminelle which only applies to certain types of criminal acts that
his justice was submitted to a jury in itself authorized to
united the free verdict for the culprit, then against a free verdict that
was dropped by a jury of it no one can submit an examination request
cassation to Court de cassation, i.e. courts of cassation or the Court
The Great of France.
4. That is precisely by the provision of Article 244 of the Penal Code, which
its implementation is poured in the Decree of the Minister of Justice Number M. 14-
PW.07.03 Year 1983 on Additional Implementation Guidelines of the KUHAP,
may instead provide The guarantee of protection and legal certainty,
because if there is a wrong ruling can still make an effort
the laws of the cassation. As in the Supreme Court ruling of 15 December
1983 Register Number 275K/Pid/1983, against a free ruling that was dropped
The Central Jakarta District Court, February 10, 1982 Number 33/1981
was the release of no Pure. The free ruling that dropped it
contains an incorrect interpretation of the notion of " against the law '.
The Supreme Court argued it is not appropriate if the appellate against the law
is only connected with Policy The crediting of directors, due to Policy Percreditan
is the discretion of directors who do not violate the rules that there is sanctions
the pidananya. Whereas in accordance with an already developed opinion
the science of law, it should be measured by the principles of unwritten law,
and the principles that are common according to the patterness of society.
According to the In society, especially in criminal corruption,
If a civil servant receives an excessive facility and
another benefit from another person with the intention of the civil servant
use the The power is distorted, it is already
34
"acts against the law", and according to the wrineness of the deed
is a despicable act or deed that can ruffle the sense
the justice of the public is much. In other words there is a difference
opinion between the Central Jakarta District Court with the opinion of the Court
the Great in interpreting the meaning against the law.
IV. Conclusion Based on the above explanation, the Government pleads to His Majesty
The Chairman/Assembly of the Constitutional Court of Constitutional Court examining, severing, and
prosecutable the testing of the KUHAP against the Basic Law
1945, can provide a ruling as follows:
1. Stating that the applicant does not have a legal standing (legal standing);
2. Rejecting the applicant ' s testing for the whole or
at least stated the request for the applicant to not
be accepted (niet onvankelijkvet-Ward);
3. Received overall Government information;
4. Stating that the provisions of Article 244 of the Penal Code do not conflict with
the provisions of Article 1 of paragraph (3), Article 24 of the paragraph (1), Article 27 paragraph (1), Article 28D
paragraph (1), Article 28H of paragraph (2), Article 28I paragraph (1) of the Constitution of 1945.
However, if the Constitutional Court of Justice of the Constitutional Court argues
another, please a wise and adiediary verdict (ex aequo et bono).
[2.4] A draw that the DPR delivered a written caption is dated
18 May 2010 which was accepted by the Court of Justice on 7 June 2010
that is at its office as follows:
A. The Provisions Of The Article In Law Number 8 Of The Year 1981 On The Laws Of Criminal Events Which Were Honed For Testing Against The Constitution Of 1945. The petitioners in the a quo application apply for testing
over Section 244 of the Act No. 8 of the Year of 1981 on the Law of the Event

UUD 1945.
B. Rights and/or Constitutional Authority Considered the Applicants Were Harmed By The Enactment Of Law Number 8 Of 1981 On the Book of Criminal Event Law The applicant in the plea a quo, posited that the right
The constitutionality guaranteed in Section 1 paragraph (3), Article 27 paragraph (1), Article
28D paragraph (1), Article 28H paragraph (2), Article 28I paragraph (2) of the Constitution of 1945 has
harmed and violated by the enactment of Article 244 of Law No. 8
In 1981 on Criminal Event Law (for further abbreviated
KUHAP) against the Constitution of 1945, i.e. at the bottom of the following:
1. That according to the Applicants Section 244 of the Criminal Code that

witness the victim who in the proceedings is represented by the Prosecutor
General. (vide Plea a quo page 5).
2. That the applicant assumes the norm in Article 244 of KUHAP
is the norm that has no clarity, precision and consistency
in the process of legal certainty. (vide Plea a quo page 9).
3. That the applicant also assumes the norm in Article 244 of the KUHAP
does not provide the treatment to obtain the opportunity and benefit
equal agreement between the public prosecutor or the defendant to submit

36
4. That according to the noram Applicants contained in Section 244
KUHAP provides discriminatory treatment between the public prosecutor

apply for cassation with reason for the sake of law, truth, and justice
against the free verdict. In practice there is a case of filing
cassation against a free ruling filed by the Public Prosecutor.
(vide Plea a quo page 10);
6. The applicant considers the norm in Article 244 of the KUHAP
along regarding the phrase "except for the free ruling"
unconstitutional and has no binding legal force with
all due to its law. (vide Plea a quo thing. 13);
7. That therefore, according to the Applicant Norm in Section 244

first elaborates on the legal position (legal standing) can
be described as follows:
1. Legal standing (Legal Standing) The applicant Qualifying to be fulfilled by the Applicant as a Party has
set forth in the provisions of Article 51 of the paragraph (1) Act No. 24 of 2003 on
The Constitutional Court (next The Constitutional Court Act),
which states that " The petitioners are the ones who presume
the rights and/or its constitutional authority are harmed by the prevailing
legislation, that is:
a. Individual citizen of Indonesia;
b. the unity of indigenous law society as long as it is alive and appropriate
with the development of the community and the principle of the State of Unity
The Republic of Indonesia is set in undra;
c. public legal entity or Private; or
d. state agencies.
The rights and/or constitutional authority referred to the provisions of Article 51 of the paragraph
(1) it is expressly set forth in its explanation, that "the right

that is explicitly set in a 1945 Constitution alone which includes "rights
constitutional".
Therefore, according to the Constitutional Court Act, so that a person or one
party can accepted as the applicant who has a legal position
(legal standing) in the Act of testing against the Constitution
In 1945, then first must explain and prove it:
a. Qualify as the applicant in the a quo as
referred to in Article 51 of the paragraph (1) of the MK Act;
b. The rights and/or its constitutional authority as referred to in
"The explanation of Article 51 of the paragraph (1)" is deemed to have been harmed by the enactment

Regarding the parameters of constitutional losses, the Constitutional Court has been

arising out of the enactment of an Act must meet 5 (five)
terms (vide Verdict Case Number 006 /PUU-III/2005 and Perkara Number

Responded to the applicant a quo, DPR views as
following:
39
1. That in the application of a quo the applicant as a person of citizens
the Advocate-professed Indonesian state does not have legal interests
directly to the norm contained in Article 244
KUHAP, because the real parties are in legal interest
directly according to Section 244 of the Criminal Code is the defendant or the public prosecutor
who can submit the case, so the DPR views that the
The applicant is not based on the parties in the application of the Invite-
Invite against the UUD of 1945;
2. That the UUD section of 1945 made the stone a test of a
quo and considered to be the constitutional right of the applicant as
dalil in the plea a quo is not appropriate and there is absolutely no one.
related to the constitutional right of the Applicant as Advocate, by
because as it has been suggested at the number 1, that the
The profession of the profession has no legal interest
directly related to Article 244 norms of the a quoAct.
Therefore, it is clear that there is absolutely no loss
in actual constitutionality and concrete experienced directly by case file;

that occurred at the trial was reasonably appointed in the News Event News and
is one unitary one Apart with this disconnect;
3. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS
[3.1] Draw that the intent and purpose of the applicant ' s plea
is to test the constitutionality of the phrase "except against the free verdict" of

sheet of state of the Republic of Indonesia No. 3209, subsequently called UU

justice ".
Article 28I paragraph (2): " Everyone is entitled to be free from the discriminatory treatment of the base
any and right to obtain protection against the treatment of the
That is discriminatory. "
As for the reason, according to the petitioners, it is:
That the norm in Article 244 Act 8/1981 is a norm that does not have
clarity, precision, and consistency in the process of legal certainty. It is
barring the principles of the state of law. That the legal state principle demands that
as much as possible people know about what to be told
they are based on the Act, what things are given to them
based on the Act, and behavior what they expect from
officials.
