I. Base Application
Authority of the Constitutional Court That Indonesia has made a new history in shaping the system
a modern state. This is marked by the birth of various institutions
states, one of which is the Constitutional Court. As one
The perpetrators of the judiciary, the Constitutional Court is expected to be able to
uphold the constitution and the principles of the state of law according to
the authority granted. The Constitutional Court is also required to be able
to balance the balance (check and balances) between state institutions and
resolve the constitutional dispute for the basic law contained
in the Basic Law of 1945. (later called UUD 1945) remain
awake.
That in accordance with his duties and authority as listed
in Article 24C of the paragraph (1) of the Constitution of 1945, the Constitutional Court has 4
(four) of authority, that is:
1. testing legislation against the Basic Act;
2. Severing the jurisdiction of the state agency's authority

c. severing the dissolution of the political party; and
d. broke the dispute about the outcome of the general election. "
That in addition to those provisions above, regarding the authority of the Court
The Constitution is also set in Act Number 48 of the Year 2009 concerning

The Justice Powers in particular Section 29 paragraph (1) stated
as follows: " (1) The Constitutional Court is authorized to judge at the rate
The first and last of its verdict is final to:
a. testing legislation against the Country Basic Law
The Republic of Indonesia in 1945;

provided by the State Basic Law of the Republic of Indonesia Year
1945;
c. severing the dissolution of the political party; and
d. cut off the dispute about the results of the general election.
e. Another authority granted by the Act. "
That the Constitutional Court is entitled to conduct the testing of
The Act committed with the benchmark of the Basic Law.
The Test may be done Materially or formically.
The materiel testing referred to the testing of the material
Act, so that it should be clear which part of
The Act is contrary to the which of
UUD 1945. The tested can consist of only 1 chapters, 1 article, 1 sentence or 1
the word in the Act is concerned. (vide, Prof. Prof. Dr. Jimly
Asshidiqie, SH, Occupation of the Constitutional Court in Structure
Indonesian state of state,)
As for the testing application the petitioners are testing is testing
the materiel, which defined as the testing of the legislation
with respect to the of the charge material in paragraph, section, the invite-invite part that is considered to be contrary to the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
(vide of the Rules of the Court Constitution Number 06 /PMK/2005 on Guidelines
Event in Testing Perkara Act:
Section 1 of the paragraph (1): Testing is the formyl and/or testing testing
materiiil as referred to Section 51 paragraph (3) letter a and b Invite-
invite Number 24 Year 2003 on the Court Constitution.
Section 4 of the paragraph (1): The Act testing application includes formyl testing
and/or materiel testing.
6
Section 4 of the paragraph (2): The material testing is the testing of the Act in respect
with the charge material in the paragraph, section, and/or section of the Act considered
contrary to the 1945 Constitution.)
That the Applicant in this case submitted Material testing of the Article
65 Act No. 8 of 1981 on Criminal Event Law
(Indonesian Republic of Indonesia Year 1981 Number 76, next
called KUHAP) and Explanation of Article 65 of the Law Number 8 Year
1981 on the Law of Criminal Events (Additional Republican Sheets
Indonesia Number 3209,) against Article 28D paragraph (1) of the Constitution of 1945 to
Constitutional Court.
That under Article 10 of the paragraph (1) MK Act, then the Constitutional Court
authorities to examine the constitutional losses experienced by the
The applicant, as a result of the interpretation of Article 65 of the KUHAP and its Explanation
that is unconstitutional.
That the 1945 Constitution is not alone in understanding
the articles in it, but according to Soepomo, the 1945 Constitution. consists of
Opening and Body Bar. The opening describes the subject matter or
the philosophy of the founding of the Republic of Indonesia. The body bar
contains passages that describe the execution of the minds of the mind
or the Preamble philosophy of the 1945 Constitution. Thus the application for
The applicant against Section 65 of the Criminal Code is not limited to the
body bar, but the Constitutional Court should also pay attention to and
testing the subject of mind or philosophy of the Opening of the Constitution. 1945 against
The laws are being sought for testing.
That by the authority of prosecuting by the Constitutional Court of the above
The request has been in accordance with the provisions, then the applicant
request to the Chairman of the Court Constitution to set the Court
Constitution authorities prosecute request a quo.
B. Legal Position (Legal Standing) of the applicant as the Constitutional Court of Rights. That under the provisions of Article 51 of the paragraph (1) MK Act, it has been set
regarding the parties who may be petitioners in the hearing
The Constitutional Court is:
7
"the applicant is the party that considers the rights and/or authority
its constitutionality is harmed by the law, 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 institutions. "
That in addition to the provisions of Article 51 paragraph (1) of the MK Act, Article 3 of the Regulation
Constitutional Court Number 06 /PMK/2005 on the Event Guidelines
In Testing of the Act on legal position also set
the terms of the law. as follows,
" The applicant in testing the Act against UUD 1945 is:
a. An Indonesian individual or group of people who
has the same interests;
b. the unity of the 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 that is set in undang-Undang;
c. public law enforcement or Private legal entity
d. State institutions. "
Based on the above regulatory description, it can be concluded that the subject of law
which may apply for testing of the Act (Act)
against the Basic Law (UUD) is the public or body legal entity
law Private, in addition to individual citizens of Indonesia (including
group of people in common interest), community unity
customary law of all is still alive and in accordance with the development
society and the principle of the State Indonesia ' s RepubIik unity is set
in the Act, and state agencies. (vide Constitutional Law & Justice
Constitution, Abdul Mukhtie Fajar, Constitution Press, Jakarta & Citra Media,
Yogyakarta, 2006).
So that the subjects of this law are legal subjects
the potential has legal standing to apply
testing the Act against the Constitution.
8
Further, even though MK Law does not explain what and who
is categorized as a public legal entity or private legal entity,
plus the provisions governing the legal entity in general too
does not exist yet. Nevertheless, an explanation for the Constitutional Court Act
states that: "The individual referred to the individual including the group
persons of the same interest."
That the applicant 1 up to the applicant 17 is a citizen
Indonesia who has a common job as an Advocate. So
The applicant gets a chance to know more in
about the KUHAP which is a guideline for law enforcement apparatus in
running the profession following its application in practice.
That Yurisprudence The Constitutional Court in the Putermination Number 006 /PUU-
III/2005 and subsequent rulings, provides an interpretation of
Article 51 of the paragraph (1) MK Act related to the constitutional right to be described
as follows:
a. there must be a right and/or constitutional authority of the applicant who
granted by the 1945 Constitution;
b. the rights and/or the constitutional authority by the applicant is considered
aggrieved by an promulgance;
c. the rights and/or constitutional authority is
specific and actual, or at least a potential that is possible
reasonable reasoning can be certain to occur;
d. there is a causal link between the rights loss
and/or the constitutional authority with the legislation
is mohoned for testing;
e. there is a possibility that with the application being granted, then
The loss of rights and/or constitutional authority is meant to be not
or no longer occurs;
That in conjunction with legal standing The applicant who
is a citizen of Indonesia who together has
the same interests as the Advocate. Thus
if associated with a type of rights and/or authority loss
a constitutional loss that must be specific and actual, then the constitutional loss
experienced by the applicant is included in the type of loss that is
9
potential that reasonable reasoning can be determined will occur;
In this case if one time the applicant is seated as
a suspect or a defendant, then the petitioners will suffer a loss
constitutionality attributable to the incorrect interpretation performed
by law enforcement apparatus (in casu investigators, public prosecutors and judges),
where the right for a suspect or defendant to file a witness and or
expert favorable for suspect or defendant both at the level
inquiry nor at the trial level as set forth in Section
65 KUHAP, may be rejected by law enforcement authorities for no reason
there is an obligation for such law enforcement apparatus to receive and
examine the witnesses and or The expert submitted by the suspect or defendant.
That the same element of interest from the applicant, is
interests to prevent the onset of the constitutional loss that
ponticied will happen and experienced alone by The petitioners. Besides
that, in addition to the applicant as an Indonesian citizen,
The petitioners also have the same profession or job,
as the Advocate based on Article 1 of the Number 1 Act
18 Years 2003 on Advocate, stated that: " Advocates are people
the profession provides legal services, both inside and outside
the court meets the requirements under the rules of the invite-
invite this.
That explanation for the Section 65 of the KUHAP is not elaboration
further regarding the presence of rights and obligations for the parties, but
only reads "quite clearly". So that, in practice it has opened
the opportunities for its interpretation resulting in the loss right
the constitutionality of the applicant as contained in the Act
Basic 1945 as well as living constitutional values existing in the State of the Union
The Republic of Indonesia.
Thus the sum of the Applicant over the fundamentals of the position
legal /legal standing of the petitioners. Rights violations
the constitutionality of which the applicant mentioned in this section has
indicated the existence of a constitutional right owned by the Applicant.
In an attempt to prove the legal position/legal standing Of course
unavoidable entry of the arguments related to the Act
10
to be tested. Nevertheless, in this application, it will
be further explained as to the sitting of the case as well as violations
constitutional rights that occur in connection with the application of Article 65
KUHAP.
Next, Prof. Dr. Jimly Asshidiqie, S. H, said that the criteria-
such criteria, in its implementation, are abstract and not
in absolute effect. To see if there is rights,
the authority, or the constitutional loss, then we must see
the constitution of a country.
II. Regarding the constitutional loss an inconstitutional interpretation of Article 65 of the Law No. 8 Year
1981 on the Law of Criminal Events has contradictory and infringed the right
the constitutionality of the Applicants contained in Article 28 D verse (1) UUD
1945.
The Protection of Human Rights (Human Rights) has a long history that
begins with the same natural dignity and the same humanitarian rights and
cannot be revoked. Recognition of such rights and rights is
the foundation of freedom, justice, and world peace. We see human rights
as something vital to keep human life fixed
humane and keep the most valuable rights, which is the right to be
man. As a term, the dignity and rights of such humanity
are referred to as human rights. Article 4 of the Law No. 39 Year 1999
on Human Rights mentions a number of rights that are
absolute, cannot be reduced under any circumstances and by anyone. Rights-
The rights are among others:
1. Right to life;
2. Right to not be tortured;
3. The right of personal liberty, mind and conscience;
4. Religious rights;
5. The right to not be enslaved;
6. The right to be recognized as personal and equality before the law;
7. The right not to be prosecuted on the basis of the law is retroactive.
11
Rumusan of Article 4 Law Number 39 of 1999 on Human Rights
equal to the formulation of Article 28 of the letter I paragraph (1) Amendment Invite-
Invite Basic (UUD) 1945: " Right to life, the right to not be tortured,
rights of freedom of mind and conscience, religious rights, rights to not
enslaved, the right to be recognized as personal before the law and rights
not to be prosecuted on the basis of the law in effect receding is a birthright
a human being unable to be reduced under any circumstances. "
Sentence "...cannot be reduced under any circumstances" indicates
that such rights are an absolute right, cannot
be limited, even in Article 28J paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution there is a recognition
against the obligation to respect the rights and liberties of others
within the limitations set forth by the Act.
Thus, recognition as personal and treatment as well as
equal protection before the law, it gives rise to the right to
a person to demand to the government to meet and
provide protection and The same treatment before the law.
Indonesia has ratified the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights -ICCPR). Consequently, some
provisions in the Criminal Justice System must undergo a change.
Article 14 of the (3) ICCPR expressly mentions that any person
designated as a suspect or a defendant has the right to
is processed and tried as soon as possible. The delay without reason should not be
may occur, as it means violating the suspect ' s rights and
the defendant.
In its development, KUHAP can no longer afford to accommodate aspirations
a society that is increasingly critical and aware of its rights. Law
Number 39 of 1999 on Human Rights, the Constitution of the Constitution of 1945
in particular Section 28A to Article 28I and a number of invited-
invites in other judicial areas indicate a tendency
that Criminal Events Law in Indonesia is close to due process of
law as offered by Herbert L. Packer.
In this plea, constitutional rights that may and/or have been
violated are rights constitutional that has been granted by UUD 1945,
precisely on Article 28D of paragraph (1) that reads: " Everyone has the right to
12
recognition, guarantees, protection, and fair legal certainty as well as
equal treatment before the law "
Under Article 28D of the paragraph (1) of the UUD above, then any
persons, including the applicant, are entitled to a position as well as
equal treatment before the law, obtaining the recognition, warranty,
protection, and fair legal certainty.
That expressly and clearly Article 65 of the KUHAP has granted the right
to the suspect to be able to submit an expert at the inquiry level
as it reads: " The suspect or defendant is entitled to
attempt and file a witness and or someone who has
special expertise to provide a favorable description for
Himself".
As for The explanation of Section 65 of the Criminal Code is: "It is fairly obvious"
That the provisions of Section 65 of the KUHAP provision and its explanation only
govern regarding the rights of the suspect and or the defendant without any
the provisions governing the obligations for the Investigator, General Prosecuting and
Judge to accept and examine witnesses and or The expert submitted by
the suspect and or the defendant, has opened the opportunity for institutions
law enforcement such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) which has
does a perverted and unfounded interpretation of the Article 65 Invite-
Invite Number 8 Year 1981.
KUHAP has set about the suspect ' s right to submit a witness that
easing and the expert as set in Article 65 of the KUHAP
but in practice, investigators The KPK has repeatedly refused to
check out the expert in the investigation level which submitted by the suspect,
solely on the grounds that there was no need for investigators to
examine the submitted experts. This practice takes place in the upper case
the names of the Syaukani Hassan Rais, Marthias, and Aulia Pohan. It is clear
contrary to the constitutional right of citizens because of the explanation
The article reads "quite clearly"
In its refusal, the KPK provides an interpretation of the formulation of the section
that is, with suggests that the word "right" is in the formula
that does not mean "mandatory". While the KUHAP has provided an explanation
"is quite clear" against the sound of Article 65, so it is done as an asas
13
interpretatio cessate in claris, in which we cannot interpret the word-
word in the Act, if the text of the words is clear. This
is an arbitrary, authoritarian act and
override Rule of Law.
That interpretation can only be done in case there is a void
the law. However, the KPK has made an interpretation that is not based on
the legal reality of which is applicable in Indonesia (ius constitutum). While the Article
65 KUHAP is still in effect that it should be KPK cannot and not
needs to interpret the sound of an Act if the text of an
The Act is clear and light.
That against The interpretation of the suspect proved to have been severely harmed.
his constitutional rights as an Indonesian citizen should be
protected, i.e. human rights as set in Article 28D clause
(1) The 1945 Constitution. Loss of Constitutional Rights violations due to
interpretation of Article 65 of the KUHAP may also adversely affect the right
constitutional rights later.
That other than that, in practice, has evolved anyway. interpretation of
in part by the KPK against Article 65 of the KUHAP, in which the KPK argues
that there are extenutable witnesses to be checked in levels
the inquiry, but the expert submitted by the suspect cannot be submitted
in the investigation level. Whereas Article 65 of the KUHAP has set it up
is balanced between the right to file a easing witness and or
expert. The KPK should not create a different interpretation
regarding the right of the witness to which it is revealed to be
an expert in the investigation level.
The KPK's actions have clearly been adversely affected. The constitutional right of the
The applicant because of the passage of article 184 of the paragraph (1) of the (1) KUHAP
states:
" (1) the valid evidence tool is: a. Witness description
b. Expert description
c. Letter
d. Hint
e. The defendant's description "
14
Thus between the Attraction given by an expert
with the caption given by a witness are two things that
are different. Thus it is the right of a suspect or a defendant to
submit as many useful evidence tools to
himself, in the interest of his defense.
That the expert submission is in the investigation level already should be met
by investigators on the Corruption Eradication Commission of the Republic of Indonesia as appropriate
with the sound of Article 65 of the KUHAP.
One of the proofs of the KPK's rejection of an expert submission
is shortened by the suspect contained in the letter Number
B-48/D. Dak2/KPK/III/ 2007 dated March 28, 2007 to Dr. Otto Cornelis
Kaligis, subject to the Applicant Submission that the applicant
quotes as follows: "Thus the investigator does not have
the obligation to call and examine an expert favorable to
A suspect in an inspection at the investigation level. For that, it is recommended
to Brother to present a favorable expert for
the defendant in the trial proceedings in Court".
That the KPK Letter is proof of a heretical interpretation and not
by law, conducted by the KPK, so that the future
is always open to the possibility that constitutional rights related to
equal status equality before the law as stated in
Article 28D verse (1) The 1945 Constitution will be broken.
That with the wrong interpretation and unfounded on an
An Act of clarity and light that the Investigator does,
The General Prosecuer, and the Judge, then could potentially pose a loss
to the constitutional right of the Applicant who according to The reasoning that
reasonable is certain to occur, if the applicant later in the day
has the status of a suspect or a defendant, as it is highly likely to occur
The petitioners did a mistake and status
as a suspect and or a defendant. As such, to avoid
again the occurrence of misleading interpretations while the right
the suspect has been set up clearly and in light in Article 65 of the KUHAP, para
The applicant is applying to the Court Constitution for
materially testing against Section 65 of the Criminal Code as well as
15
an explanation that should be interpreted as " the investigator, the public prosecutor, and
the judge has no obligation to examine the witness and or a person
who has special skills to provide the description
advantageous for and submitted by the suspect/defendant ",
is unconstitutional because it is in conflict with Article 28D of paragraph (1) of the Constitution
1945.
III. Plea That based on the things the applicant has raised above, the
the applicant hereby pleads with the Constitutional Court of the Constitutional Court
please check, prosecute, and cut off the applicants
with Amar Putermination as follows:
1. Accept and grant requests from the Applicant for

4. Ordering the loading of this ruling in the Republic News of the Republic

If the Constitutional Court of the Constitutional Court argues otherwise, please the verdict

The applicant submitted a proof of a letter or inscription given a Proof of P-1

In addition to submit written evidence, the petitioners also submitted 1

1. Expert Prof. Dr. O.C. Kaligis
Ratio legis The Basic Law of Article 1 verse (3) there are two,
rechtszekerheid and rechtelijkheid. Regarding equality before law, special
is faced to the law of the event, where the rights of the suspect confronted
to the integrated criminal justice system, in Article 28D paragraph (1)
reads, " Everyone is entitled to the recognition, warranty, protection, and
fair legal certainty as well as the same treatment in the Before the law. "
Actually Article 65 is pretty clear. Only the heretical interpretation
from investigators led to the issue being brought to the Constitutional Court
because interpretatio cessate in claris.
The judge did not take the decision in a conflict. If the right
the suspect has since originally been castrated, his philosophy as well as the concept
human rights in Article 28 of the 1945 Constitution, authoritarian states are not likely to wear
the philosophy of the Human Rights. Middle range storywas due process of
law. We do not use the power approach and because of the
presumption of innocence.
17
Article 417 of the Criminal Law Act, "Whose goods
willfully embezzled the penalty." was always ignored in
legal considerations. Since there is no possible agreement
if the suspect is expected by a suspect who is right
the basic is ignored.
In equality before the law is most important to the discussion.
primary judicial ethics, especially for judges and prosecutors. This is happening
due to the concept of judicial ethics, not only rules of conduct
but also counting rule of law and morality. Judicial ethics rules of
the standard and norms that bear on judges and covers such matters as
how to maintain independent impartiality and avoid improperty. With
Prosecutors deprive the suspect rights since Originally to submit an expert,
There is no possible judge in the dissection of Article 185 of the paragraph (6)
view the conflict, and what happens only the Prosecutor's opinion, which has
engineered in such a way that the suspect be included because
approach due proccess of law is presumption of innocence no
presumption of guilt. We do not pursue the recognition of the suspect and
hence Article 185 verse (1) says, "The evidence is what
is declared in court." One witness is not a witness.
Adanya equality before the law as ratio legis Article 1 of paragraph (3)
is linked to Article 28 of the Basic Law of 1945, if indeed
that right is not granted. About judicial ethics which is a discussion
in the world, regarding integrity, and fair trial. Fair trail judge not possible

that reads, " Everyone is entitled to a confession, a guarantee,

The emergence of this issue due to the perverse interpretation of investigators.

17 February 2011 as follows:
I. Point of Request a. That subject of the applicant with the register of the case
No. 28 /PUU-VIII/2010, at its core stated that the provisions
Article 65 of the Law No. 8 Year of 1981 on the Law of the Event
Criminal, considered potentially adverse the rights of the petitioners,
due to the unconstitutional interpretation carried out by
law enforcement apparatus, in particular for the suspect or defendant to
submit a Witness and/or Expert favorable, which can only
rejected by law enforcement authorities for no obligation
for the law enforcement apparatus to receive and inspect the Witnesses
and/or the Expert.
1. That in the handling of matters under the name of Syaukani Hassan Rais,
Marthias and Aulia Pohan, the Investigator of the Corruption Eradication Commission
(KPK) has refused to examine the expert filed by the suspect with
the reason there is no need for investigators to examine the expert who
submitted by the suspect, this is evidenced by the letter Number B-
48 /D. Dak2/KPK/III/ 2007 dated March 28, 2007 to Dr. Otto
Cornelis Kaligis that reads: " thus the investigator is not
has an obligation to call and check the expert that
benefits for suspect in examination at the pen level
yip. To that end, it is recommended to the Brothers to present
an expert favorable to the accused in the proceedings of the
Court.
2. That according to the applicant, the KPK Investigator has misinterpreted
Article a quo so that it would be open to the possibility
of a violation of constitutional rights as a citizen
Indonesia that is also potentially harm the constitutional right of the
The applicant.
19
3. That the norm that is in the a quo Act, is considered
has violated the constitutional right of the applicant as an
advocate who is in practice and appointed as legal advisor
the suspects or the accused have been subjected to a violation of rights
constitutional by therefore according to the applicant then the provision
a quo is considered in conflict with Article 28D of paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution.
4. The government argued that the Constitutional Court was not
authorized to examine and prosecute the applications
The applicant, because of the plea a quo is pertinated with
the application of the norm (implementation) of an Act appropriate
mandate Section 65 of the Law No. 8 of 1981 on
Criminal Event Law, especially because it concerns the order of practice
by the Corruption Eradication Commission in conduct of inquiry
in accordance with the authority presented by the Act,
in particular in conducting top consideration expert check
filed suspect in the investigation.
b. That is the subject of the applicant with the case register
No. 65 /PUU-VIII/2010, at its core stating the provisions of Article 1
number 26 and number 27, Section 65, Section 116 of the paragraph (3) and paragraph (4) as well as
Section 184 of the paragraph (1) of the letter a Law No. 8 Year 1981 on
The Criminal Event Law is considered to have recognized the recognition, guarantee,
protection, and legal certainty, as well as being considered contradictory
with the principles of the state of law, hence according to the The applicant
such provision is deemed to be contrary to the provisions of Article 1
paragraph (3) and Article 28D paragraph (1) of the Constitution of 1945, because as follows:
1. That a suspect as determined by KUHAP
is given the right to prove that he is innocent,
because the provision is above must be interpreted as an attempt
a suspect to prove that His innocence
as a form of respect and fulfillment of human rights, the
is therefore protected and guaranteed by the constitution;
2. That it is the right of a suspect to submit
as much as the evidence tool to benefit himself and
prove his innocence, as it gives
20
interpretation of a viable or unexemplary or not a witness
favorable to himself is not a discretion or
"freis ermessen" of the investigator's more than Jampidsus and Prosecutor
The Supreme but the authority of the judge.
3. That a phrase, a suspect or a defendant is entitled to attempt
or to file a witness and or a person with expertise
specifically to provide a favorable description for
himself, should be interpreted and interpreted as rights that cannot
be rejected for any reason for a suspect to
present a witness or an expert favorable to him
in one criminal case.
4. In short, the petitioner requests that
a a quo must be defined (conditionally unconstitutional)
" The suspect or defendant is entitled to attempt to and
submit witnesses and or a person who has the expertise
specifically to provide a favorable caption himself,
and the investigator, the public prosecutor and the judge have an obligation to
receive and check witnesses and or experts which are ushered in and
filed by the suspect/defendant ":
5. The government argued that the Constitutional Court was not
authorized to examine and prosecute the applications
The applicant, because of the plea a quo is pertinated with
the application of the norm (implementation) of a law. appropriate
mandate Section 1 of the number 26 and number 27 Act No. 8
In 1981 on Criminal Event Law, especially since
concerns the order of practice by the Prosecutor's institutions as
Investigators, to conduct the investigation and/or prosecution appropriate
with the authority provided by The Act,
in particular in consideration of the witness examination
that benefits/witnesses a de charge for the suspect for
the inquiry's interests, even against the wishes of the petitioners
has been met (among others presenting former Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia
H. Yusuf Kalla and former Minister of the Economy Kwik kian Gie).

II. About the Legal Standing (Legal Standing) The applicant
In accordance with the provisions of Article 51 of the paragraph (1) Act Number 24
of 2003 on the Constitutional Court, stating that the applicant
is the party to which it is not. the rights and/or authority
its constitutionality is harmed by the enactment of the law, namely:
a. Individual citizens of Indonesia;
b. the unity of the indigenous law society as long as it is alive and appropriate
with the development of the community and the principle of the Unity State
The Republic of Indonesia that is governed in the promulcity;
c. the public or private legal entity; or
d. country institutions.
The above provisions are expressed in its explanation, that what
with "constitutional rights" is the rights set forth in the Invite-
Invite the Basic State of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945.
Thus, in order for someone or a party to be accepted
as the applicant who has a legal position (legal standing) in
an Act of testing against the Basic Law
The State The Republic of Indonesia in 1945, first had to
explain and prove it:
a. Qualify for the a quo as described in
Article 51 of the paragraph (1) of the Law No. 24 of 2003 on
Constitutional Court;
b. the rights and/or its constitutional authority in qualifying
referred to as being harmed by the enactment of the Invite-
Invite which is tested;
c. The claim and/or constitutional authority of the applicant as
result enactment of the Act, which is expected to test.
More on the Constitutional Court since the Decree Number 006 /PUUIII/2005
and the Number 11 /PUU-V/2007, as well as subsequent rulings,
has provided the understanding and limitation of the Cumulatively about
rights and/or authority losses constitutional arising out of
the enactment of an Act according to Article 51 of the paragraph (1) Invite-
22
Invite Number 24 of 2003 on the Constitutional Court must
meet 5 (five) terms:
a. The applicant's constitutional right is granted by Invite-
Invite the State of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945;
b. that the applicant ' s constitutional right is considered by the applicant
has been harmed by an Act that is tested;
c. that the intended constitutional loss is
specific (special) and actual or at least potentially a potential
according to reasonable reasoning that can be certain to occur;
d. Due (causal verband) between the loss and
the enactment of the Act is moveed to be tested;
e. It is possible that by the request of a request then
the constitutional loss postured will not or no longer occur.
Over those things above, then according to the Government needs
in question of interest The applicant is correct as
the party who considers the rights and/or its constitutional authority
aggrieved by the provisions of Article 1 of the number 26 and the number 27, Article
65, Section 116 of the paragraph (3) and paragraph (4) as well as Section 184 verse (1) letter a
Act Number 8 of the Year of 1981 on the Law of Criminal Events. Also
whether there is a constitutional loss the applicant referred to
is specific (specifically) and actual or at least potential that
according to reasonable reasoning can be certain to occur, and whether
there is a causal link (causal verband) between the loss and
the enactment of the Act that is being moveed to be tested. In this case,
The government argued that:
a. The applicant in case register Number 28 /PUU-VIII/2010
dated 28 April 2010 did not have a valid legal standing for
applying for not fulfilling the provisions
Article 51 of the paragraph (1) Act Number 24 Year 2003 juncto
Putermination of the Constitutional Court among other Putermination
No. 006 /PUU-III/2005 dated 31 May 2005 due to not
the resulting constitutional rights loss of the applicant who
was an advocate of the when practicing and appointed
as the legal advisor of the suspects or the defendant with
23
the enactment of the Tested Section. Based on Putermination jurisprudence
Constitutional Court Number 10 /PUU-VIII/2010 pages 57, 58, and 59
points 3.11 to point 3.15 at the point stating that
The petitioner's plea is not an advocate. have
legal standing to apply for a materiile test.
b. The applicant's request with the case register Number 65 /PUU-
VIII/2010 is not solely intended to the applicant (as
a suspect in the case of a criminal corruption only) and at the stage
The investigation only, but is addressed as well. or applies to any of the proceedings
the trial of any person and or the witnesses that
benefits and witnesses a de charge under Article 1 of 26 and
number 27 of the Law No. 8 of the Year of 1981 on KUHAP.
1. According to the Government, the presumption of the applicant stating
that the provisions are considered to be contrary to the Constitution
1945, and are therefore considered to be detriing to rights and/or
of its constitutional authority, it is premature and that it is not possible. not
based, because according to the Government provisions a quo not
is solely directed to the applicant (as a suspect
in the case of criminal corruption only) and at the preparation stage
only, but intended also or applies to any process
the trial against each person and or witnesses
a favorable and witness a de charge under Article 1 of the number 26
and the number 27 Act of 1981 on
KUHAP.
2. Thus, even though the Investigator did not grant
a favorable witness check or a witness a de charge which
was filed by the petitioners at the investigation level, however
The Act regulates that on the level examination in
the trial (at the prosecution stage) the applicant may still
submit a favorable witness and witness a de charge
independent or through the judge's order to
General Prosecutions, vide section 160 paragraph (1) letter c, stating,
" In case there are good witnesses who favorable or that
incriminating the defendants listed in the Abundance letter
24
matters and or requested by a defendant or legal counsel
or a public prosecutor during the course of the hearing or before
rationed the ruling, the speaker of the hearing is required to hear
The witness description. " Further M. Yahya Harahap, in
his book Pembahasan, Question and Application of KUHAP Volume
II, PT. Garuda Metropolitan Press, May 1988, hal. 693, states,
" Article 160 paragraph (1) of the letter c imposes a legal obligation
to the judge of the hearing to the hearing of the witness. ...
0leh as it is every witness who has been examined by investigators, and
The witness is listed in the matter of the case file, mandatory
heard his statement in advance of the trial without
supposing the witness incriminating or perpetuating
the defendant ".
3. That the a quo Act expressly states still
the chance of the applicant to submit additional witnesses
that the defendant or the General Prosecuting and, " not only
limited to the witnesses that have been listed in
The problem of the case files checked by
the inquiry ... but covering all the witnesses ... beyond those witnesses
has been listed in the devolution of the case files .... Judge
Speaker "must be" listening ".
4. That, the a quo provision is a form of protection
general (general prevention) given by the state against
any person who sits as a suspect/defendant. That
a favorable witness check and a witness a de charge
is not blocked by the KUHAP, even recognized by the para
The applicant that KUHAP has stepped one stage more forward
in laying out the tonsils Article 1 paragraph (3) and Article 28D UUD
1945. With the uncalled witness a de charge submitted
by the suspect or defendant, does not mean eliminating the rights
the suspect because the suspect ' s right is still protected by Invite-
Invite that stated that in the process trial in
Article 160 paragraph (1) of the letter c KUHAP, suspect or co-defendant
may file a lightest witness and witness a de charge.
25
So that according to the Government of the entire investigation process,
the prosecution in advance of the judiciary, up to the court ruling
has appropriate the applicable procedure and has been appropriate to
the laws of the law. that applies and reflects
a good judicial process (due process of law).
Based on the description, the Government implores the Speaker/Assembly
The Constitutional Court Justice states the applicant ' s plea
not acceptable (niet ontvankelijk verklaard).
III. The Government ' s Explanation Of The Charge Material Is Being Moed To Be Tested By The Petitioners. The applicant in his request submitted the testing
(constitutional review) against the provisions of Article 1 of 26 and the figures
27, Article 65, Section 116 of the paragraph (3) and paragraph (4) as well as Section 184 of the paragraph (1)
letter a Act In 1981, the Law of the Event
Criminal stating:
Article 1 26 of the KUHAP:
The witness is the one who can provide a description of interest
pen yiDriving, prosecution and judiciary on a criminal case that
he heard himself, he saw himself and he experienced himself.
Article 1 of the KUHAP 27:
The witness account is one of the evidence tools in the criminal case
is the description of a witness regarding a criminal event that he
hears himself, he sees it himself and It is self-natural to describe
the reason of that knowledge.
Article 65 of the KUHAP:
The suspect or defendant is entitled to attempt and file
the witness and or someone who has the expertise special purpose
provides a favorable description for him.
Section 116 paragraph (3) KUHAP:
In the examination of the suspect is asked if he intends
with a witness which can be favorable to him and when there
then it is recorded in the news of the event.
Article 116 of the paragraph (4) of the Criminal Code:
26
In the event referred to in paragraph (3) of the mandatory investigator
call and examine the witness.
The article 184 of the paragraph (1) letter a KUHAP:
The valid proof tool is: a. witness description;
The provisions above by the applicant are considered to be contradictory
with the provisions of Article 1 paragraph (3) and Section 28D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution,
stating:
Article 1 of the paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution: The State of Indonesia is a legal state.
Article 28D paragraph (1) of the Constitution of 1945: Everyone is entitled to the recognition,
fairness, protection, and fair legal certainty as well as the treatment
equal before the law.
Over those matters, the Government can provide an explanation as
following:
a. That subject of the applicant with the register of the case
No. 28 /PUU-VIII/2010, at its core stated that the provisions
Article 65 of the Law No. 8 Year of 1981 on the Law of the Event
Criminal, considered potentially adverse the rights of the petitioners,
due to the unconstitutional interpretation carried out by
law enforcement apparatus, in particular for the suspect or defendant to
file a witness and/or expert in favor, which can only
rejected by law enforcement authorities for no obligation
for the law enforcement apparatus to receive and check the witnesses
and/or the expert.
That against the presumption of the applicant above, the Government
may explain as follows:
1. that the provisions of Article 65 of the Law No. 8 Year of 1981
on the Code of Criminal Events Act do not
contrary to Article 28D of paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution. The
The applicant has misinterpreted the norm in the proofed Article
i.e. Section 65 of the Law No. 8 of 1981 on the Book
The Criminal Event Law Act where in
the execution of the suspect or the defendant to submit
the witness is not only limited to the investigation level but on
the examination rate of the suspect trial or the defendant may
27
presenting the expert as it is in the nature of the expert description
as a proof tool as delivered
The applicant in its Role on page 16 is
The caption is delivered In front of the trial and below
I swear.
2. That the petitioners in his Permohores on page 12
(twelve) paragraph 4 (four) and on Petitum Plea
2 (two) state that Section 65 Act No. 8
Year 1981 on the Book of Law of the Event The criminal
and its Explanation have violated the provisions of Article 28D clause
(1) of the 1945 Constitution. The applicant ' s control is the erroneously incorrect proof
due to Article 65 of the Law No. 8 of 1981 on
The Code of Criminal Events Act and its Explanation
not contradictory to the 1945 Constitution in particular Section 28D verse
(1). In contrast, Article 65 is intended to be
the editoration or reflection of Article 28D of the paragraph (1) of the Constitution
1945, due to the existence of Article 65 of the Law No. 8
of the Year of 1981 on the Code of Criminal Events Act
this, has accommodated the execution of a suspect or defendant ' s rights
in accordance with the provisions of Article 28D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution.
b. That according to the petitioners with the register case Number
65 /PUU-VIII/2010, in its Permohony at its point stated
that the applicant 's right to request was heard the witness' s caption-
a witness deemed favorable to the para The applicant is based on
provisions of Article 65 juncto Section 116 paragraph (3) and paragraph (4) Invite-
Invite Number 8 Year 1981 on Criminal Event Law, which
rejected by the Investigator and the Supreme Prosecutors ' superiors clearly
harms the constitutional right of the Applicants guaranteed by the Constitution
1945. The source of such refusal according to the applicant is based
on the provisions of Article 1 of the No. 8 Act of 1981
on the Law of the Criminal Event, about the description of the witness which
is linked to the provisions of Article 65 juncto sections 116 paragraph (3) and
(4) as well as Section 184 paragraph (1) letter of Act No. 8 of the Year
1981 on the Law of Criminal Events.
28
That Article 1 is 26 and 27 a quo of that
according to the applicant is also applied "discriminatory" by
Investigator as it applies only to the witnesses of the facts, witnesses to events and
witnesses However, not against the favorable witness
or the witness a de charge for the petitioners (vide plea of the applicant
number 19 page 28). That the petitioners in his petition
the 20-figure-37 thing that at the point was the act
arbitrary the prosecutor and the prosecutor's office
the great who didn't want to call the auspicious witnesses.
The petitioners who harmed the constitutional right of the applicant will not
happen again if the request is granted.
That against the presumption of the applicant above, the Government can
explain as follows:
1. That the provisions of Article 1 of item 26 of the Law No. 8 of the Year
1981 of the Criminal Event Law (KUHAP), stated, "Witnesses
is the person who can provide the information
the interests of the investigation, prosecution and A judicial case
A self-heard criminal case, he sees himself and he is natural
himself by calling the excuse of his knowledge ".
Whereas Article 1 of item 27 states, " The witness account is
one of the evidence tools in the criminal case that he heard himself,
he saw himself and he experienced himself by calling the rationale of
That knowledge is ". That according to M. Yahya Harahap, in
his book The Problem, Question and the Application of the KUHAP Volume
I, PT. The Kartini Library, December 1993, thing. 146, states,
appropriate witness description for yusticial interest, enough
carefully noted article 1 buitr 27, linked
with section 116 paragraph 2: the witness must provide the caption which
actually is the actual description in respect
with the criminal offense being examined. The opposite place
in examining the witness is a criminal offence being examined
itself, so that the investigator actually got the order
The truth of the criminal event was from the witness, within the limits of way
that does not contain pressure and coercion. Description element
29
The correct witness is relevant for a justifiable or judicial interest
is the description intended by article 1 of item 27 and Article
185 verses (5). With this affirmation it can be
directs the witness examination: a description of an
criminal event, which he heard, not the result of the story or results
the hearing of the other person. Must be directly personally
is heard by a witness himself about a criminal event that
is concerned, which he sees itself means at the time of the incident
or a barrage of events of criminal events that earnest
witnessed by its own eyes.
That Article 1 of item 27 of the KUHAP does not harm the constitutional right
The applicant, since the provisions of the section are linked
with Article 185 of the paragraph (5) of the Criminal Code, aims to be an investigator
to obtain the truth of the event a criminal action
not an opinion nor a recluse that is obtained from the outcome of the thought
only. Thus the provisions of Article 1 item 27 of the KUHAP
aim for justifiable interest in order to obtain the order
the correctness of the criminal events as well as provide reassurance and
legal protection for suspects and defendants in order not to
disnumerable or charged not based on real factafacts.
2. That Section 65 of the KUHAP states, " The suspect or the defendant
reserves the right to attempt and file a witness and or
someone who has special skills to provide
The favorable captions for himself ".
That during the examination the applicant's investigator (the suspect)
may submit to the investigator for the witness to be examined which
benefits for him. A favorable witness check
or a witness a de charge for the suspect is subject to the law
is mandatory, as is the provisions of Article 116 of the paragraph (4) of the Criminal Code
in the case of the suspect stating that he will apply
A favorable witness for himself investigator "obligatory" calls
and examined the witness.
That according to M. Yahya Harahap, in his book Pembahasan,
Question and Application of the KUHAP Volume I, PT. Kartini Library,
30
December 1993, thing. 142, stated, on the issue of obligations
the law for investigators to call and check a witness de
charge if it needs to be slightly sobering up to where
This obligation must be met by Investigator? The reject point of principle
and the purpose of KUHAP itself may be appropriate for the obligation
the laws charged with Section 116 of the paragraph (4), are limited
to the extent of the need for interest. profits
suspects. If there are any adverse symptoms in
file a witness de charge to the toying-play
The path is checked, hilt or hapkeep the binding obligation
to call and check Witnesses a de charge that
filed suspect.
3. That thus, even though the investigator is obliged to
call and check the witness a de charge, but of course
the witness must be a witness in accordance with the provisions of Article
1 item 27 of the KUHAP aims for Yusticial interests in order to
get the truth of the criminal events as well as
provide warranty and legal protection for the suspect and
the defendant as well as need to be aware of their relevance for
prove not to be caused obstacles to its path
examination.
4. That the petitioners in the 7-page 23-page figure were
that at the point stated " The provisions of Article 14 paragraph (3)
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
has actually been animating the formulation Section 65 and Section 116
paragraph (3) KUHAP. Even the KUHAP stepped one stage more forward,
by requiring investigators to call and check the witness-
the favorable witness was (paragraph 4) ". Thus can
be interpreted as the applicant has admitted The existence of an invite-
invite in the sense of Article 65 and Section 116 has been in accordance with
Convenan on Civil and Political Rights of 1966 against
the rights of the applicant as a suspect.
5. That in Terms of Article 14 paragraph (3) International Covenant
on Civil and Political Rights (1996) reads "In the
31
determination of any criminal charges against him, everyone shall be
entitled to be following minimum gaurantees, in full equity: To
same conditions as witnesses against him " (In determining
criminal charges, each person is entitled to a guarantee
the following minimum, in a full equation to check
or request In the day of the day, the witnesses, and the witnesses, and the witnesses, and the witnesses, Lighten up with
the same terms as the witnesses that gave it up).
Thus then the lightest witness must
be a witness as set out in section 1 of item 27
KUHAP.
That is based on the above, according to
The government provisions of Article 1 of the number 26 and number 27, Section 65,
Section 116 of the paragraph (3) and Section 116 of the paragraph (4) as well as Section 184 of the paragraph (1)
letter a Act Number 8 1981 on Law
The Criminal Event does not conflict with Article 1 of paragraph (3) and Article
28D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, nor does it prejudice the rights and/or
the constitutional authority of the petitioners.
c. That the petitioners in his appeal were at its core
stating that arbitrary acts were done
by investigators and the Attorney General's superiors who did not want to call
The witnesses who benefit the people The applicant is harming the right
The applicant ' s constitutional will not happen again if the plea
is granted, according to the Government not under the law with
the reason as follows:
1. The applicant has been designated as a suspect of a criminal offence
corruption specified under the Investigative Warrant
Director of the Investigator the Young Attorney General of the Special Criminal Code
Number Print-79/F. 2/Fd.1/06/2010, date 24 June 2010 allegedly
has committed criminal corruption charges fees and charges
The State Reception Is Not Tax (PNBP) on the Administration System
The Legal and Human Rights Department Legal Agency by the Prosecutor
the Great. That up to this point, the Investigators ' team is still on.
32
conduct an investigation of the alleged Sisminbankum case
involving the applicant.
2. That the Attorney General has conducted an examination of
the witness extents (a de charge) that the applicant
is witness Jusuf Kalla (former Vice President) and Kwik Kian Gie
(former Menko Ecuin), who has been recalled and checked as
witness easing for the applicant on 5 January 2011.
3. That the Attorney General's Team will certainly not be
treating the applicant as if as a baker
bike cycling in Makassar (who) hit people on the street
to death and asked President SBY to be a witness that
favorable, certainly not a reasonable request (vide
request the applicant number 18 page 9). However, the Investigator Team
also would not have been so hasty to equalize the applicant
as Ahmad, who was suddenly arrested by Police on charges
robbed and killed the gold shop owner in the New Market, and
not ignoring The alibi that Ahmad was at the moment
was in the mosque of Pondok Indah to be the Imam of the maghrib prayer and
after it gave the kultum (vide Pemoalat applicant 35
page 17).
4. That the Prosecutor is in the position of Article 1 of the 26 and the number 27
juncto Section 65 juncto Section 116 of the paragraph (3) and paragraph (4) juncto Article
184 paragraph (1) the letter of the Law No. 8 of 1981 on
The Law of the Event The Prosecutor is expressly authorized
to invoke the extenuating witness (a de charge) for
the suspect, in enforcing the law on the determination of certainty and
the justice of the law.
5. That the principles set out in the sections a quo do not
introduce another interpretation (uitzondering, exception)
against what is meant as a "witness", therefore
the principle applies to all case the case without
complies the reason the applicant is asked, that the witness is not
should the person see, hear, and experience alone.
6. In the practice of witness summoning the usual use
33
to delay the investigation acceleration process, consequently,
such an application has become the mode and motive
against bad faith to delay the agenda
the current eradication of corruption. is being worked hard by
The Prosecutor. If the requested applicant is granted,
then it will be the reason to call a damning witness/a
charge without the need to notice that whether the witness
incriminate it sees itself, experienced Alone and hearing
alone deeds done by the suspect/defendant,
so that there is no certainty and legal justice for
the accused and the public.
7. If the application of the applicant's materiel test was granted
by the Constitutional Court, it could harm the right
the constitutional rights of other citizens who should have granted
a constitutional right based on the witness's description. which
incriminating and witness a charge of a court ruling that
has a fixed legal force, because if then the request
The applicant is granted by the Assembly, then it should be interpreted
against similar things as well must be treated to a witness that
incriminating (a charge) for The defendant, who is clearly
will surely harm the suspect/defendant because thus
The broadcaster or the Public Prosecutor may seek or
ordered investigators to seek the incriminating witness/a
charge without having to provide a corresponding description
with a criminal case even though he does not hear it himself,
he does not see for himself, and is not natural alone.
IV. Conclusion Based on the above explanation, the Government pleads to His Majesty
The Chairman/Assembly of the Constitutional Court is examining, severing
and prosecuting the Act No. 8 Year
1981 of the The Criminal Event Law on the Basic Law
The Republic of Indonesia Year 1945, may provide a ruling
as follows:
34
1. Stating that the applicant does not have a position
law (legal standing);
2. Rejecting the applicant ' s testing for the whole or
at least stated the request for the applicant
not acceptable (niet ontvankelijk verklaard);

Section 116 of the paragraph (3) and paragraph (4) as well as Section 184 of the paragraph (1) of the letter a

Constitution 1945 Basic Law of the Republic of Indonesia of Indonesia Year
1945.
If Your Majesty the Chairman/Assembly of the Constitutional Court argues another,
please a wise and adio-adim verdict (ex aequo et bono).
[2.4] In a draw that the People's Representative Council submitted the captions
written without date, March 2011 accepted by the Court of Justice
on 15 April 2011 as follows:
A. The provisions of Act No. 8 of 1981 on the Law of Events
Criminal (later abbreviated KUHAP) which is being honed for testing of the 1945 Constitution
The applicant in the plea a quo filed testing over Article 65
KUHAP and his explanation of the 1945 Constitution.
Section 65 of the KUHAP and its explanation stated that: " Suspect or
The defendant has the right to attempt and file a witness and/or
a person who has special skills to provide the description
benefits for itself ".
Its explanation:"is quite clear"
B. The rights and/or constitutional authority deemed by the applicant have been harmed by the enactment of Law No. 8 of 1981 on the Law of Criminal Events
35
The applicant in the a quo plea posits that the right
constitutionality has been harmed and violated in the presence of "interpretation"
of Article 65 of the Law No. 8 of 1981 on Criminal Event Law
against UUD 1945. As for the constitutional loss it was proposed
by the applicant as follows:
1. That constitutional right granted by the Constitution of 1945 to the
applicant of recognition, assurance, protection, and certainty
fair laws as well as equal treatment before the law, potentially
will be broken, In the event of an unconstitutional interpretation of
the right of the applicant to submit a witness and/or an expert witness that
is favorable to the suspect or defendant, the Interpret
is potentially a potential. performed by the Investigator, Prosecuing
General and Judge if at some time the petitioners to be
a suspect or a defendant.
2. That according to the suspected constitutional rights of the suspect to
file a witness and/or an expert favorable to him is important
to guarantee the presence of legal protection for suspects at the level
the investigation, because if A suspect is allowed to submit a witness
or a favorable expert, then possible against a matter that
under investigation can be obtained by a legal analysis
weighed.
3. That according to the petitioners expressly and clearly Section 65 of the KUHAP
has given the suspect the right to be able to submit an expert at
the investigation level as it reads: " The suspect or defendant
reserves the right to Try and file a witness and/or someone
who has special skills to provide the caption
benefits for himself ".
As for the obvious explanation is:
" Pretty Clear "
4. That according to the Applicant of the provisions of Section 65 of the Criminal Code as well as
the explanation only regarding the rights of the suspect and or
the defendant without any provision governing the obligation for the Investigator,
The General Prosecuting, and the Judge. to accept and examine the witnesses and
or the expert submitted by the suspect and or the defendant, have opened
36
opportunities for law enforcement agencies such as the KPK which have been
performing unconstitutional and unsubstantiated interpretations
Article 65 of the KUHAP.
5. That the petitioners said in practice, KPK investigators had
repeatedly refused to examine the expert filed suspect
in the investigation level citing the absence of a must for
investigators to check The expert submitted it. This practice occurs
in the case of Syaukani Hassan Rais, Marthias, and Aulia Pohan. The
thing is clearly contrary to the constitutionality of the citizens because
the explanation of the Article reads clear enough. Thus, the KPK gives
an interpretation that the word "entitled" in such formulae does not mean
"mandatory".
6. That according to the applicant in practice has developed anyway
a partial interpretation by the KPK against Article 65 of the KUHAP, where
KPK argues that the extenuating witness may be examined in
the investigation level, however The expert submitted by the suspect could not be
filed in the investigation level. While Article 65 of the Criminal Code has been
in a balanced setting between the right to file a witness that
lighten up and or the expert. Because of this, the petitioners felt the action
The KPK greatly harmed the constitutional right of the applicant.
7. That the petitioners submitted one proof of a rejection by
KPK against the expert submission at the investigation level in the letter Number
B-48/D. Dak2/KPK/III/ 2007 dated March 28, 2007 to Dr. Otto
Cornelis Kaligis, Subject matter is:
"Thus the investigator has no obligation to call
and examine the favorable expert for the suspect in
examination at the investigation level. For that, it is recommended to the brothers
to present a favorable expert for the defendant in
proceedings at the Court".
8. That with such interpretation, according to the applicant is
an example of an act that harms the constitutional right of the applicant.
With an unconstitutional and unconstitutional interpretation of an
legislation that has been clear and bright then can potentially
pose a loss to the constitutional right of the applicant if
37
at later status as a suspect or a defendant. According to
a reasonable reasoning, it is very likely that in later the para day
The applicant commits an error and is status as a suspect
or a defendant.
9. That in this request, the applicant states that the right
constitutional and/or been violated is the right
the constitutional authority that has been granted by the Constitution of 1945, precisely in Article 28
letter D paragraph (1) which stated, "Everyone is entitled to the recognition,
the guarantee, protection, and legal certainty of the fair and the treatment
equal before the law". Under section 28D of the paragraph (1)
then each person, including the applicant, is entitled to be entitled
the same position as well as the same treatment before the law, obtaining
recognition, assurance, protection, and legal certainty of the law. Fair.
10. That to avoid any further interpretation of the interpretation that
according to the applicants is unconstitutional, while the right of the suspect has been in
set out clearly and bright in Article 65 of the KUHAP, then the applicant
states that if it is interpreted that: " Investigators, Public Prosecutions,
and Judge do not have the obligation to examine the witnesses and or
a person who has special expertise to provide the caption
The profitable ones are being ushered in and submitted by
Suspect/Defendant", is unconstitutional because it is contrary to
Article 28D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution.
C. List of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia Below is a representative of the House of Representatives, as
described in the a quoplea. Nevertheless, before the House of Representatives in
the delivery of his views will first be described as
legal standing (legal standing) the applicant as follows:
1. Legal Position (Legal Standing) The applicant Qualifying the applicant as a party has been
governed in Article 51 of the paragraph (1) Act No. 24 of 2003 on
Constitutional Court (subsequently abbreviated MK Act). Article 51 of the paragraph (1) of the Act
MK states that: "The applicant is the party who considers the right
38
and/or its constitutional authority is aggrieved by the expiring invite-
invite, i.e.:
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 unity Nation
The Republic of Indonesia is set in undra;
c. public legal entity or Private; or
d. state agencies. "
Further, the explanation of Article 51 of the paragraph (1) of the MK Act states, "which
referred to as 'constitutionality rights' is the rights that
explicitly set in the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.
1945. " Thus, only rights explicitly set in the Constitution
1945 are "constitutional rights".
In the meantime, the limitations of constitutional losses can
be found in the Court's jurisprudence at the Decision of the Case
Number 066 /PUU-III/2005 and Perkara Number 011 /PUU-V/2007.
Based on the ruling the Constitutional Court has granted
limits on constitutional losses that must meet 5 (five)
terms, i.e.:
a. The existence and/or constitutional authority of the applicant
provided by UUD 1945;
b. That the right and/or constitutional authority of the applicant
is considered by the applicant to have been harmed by a law that
is tested;
c. That the rights and/or constitutional authority that
referred to is specific (specifically) and actual or at least to be
potential that according to reasonable reasoning may be guaranteed
occurs;
d. The existence of a causal link (causal verband) between the loss and
the enactment of the Act is moveed;
e. It is possible that with the application of the request then
the loss and/or the constitutionally controlled constitutional authority will not be
or no longer occurs.
39
Thus, if a person or any particular party wants
is accepted as the legal applicant (legal
standing) in the Act of testing against the Constitution
1945, then it must first explain and prove:
a. I qualify as a supplicator in the a quo
as set in Section 51 of the paragraph (1) of the MK Act;
b. the rights and/or its constitutional authority are deemed to have been harmed
as referenced in the Description of Article 51 of the paragraph (1) of the MK Act;
c. The Court's jurisprudence (Decree Number
06 /PUU-III/2005 and Perkara Number 011 /PUU-V/2007).
Based on the above description, the House views that
The applicant must be able to prove beforehand whether it is true
The applicant as a party considers that the right and/or
of the constitutional authority are harmed. For the purpose of testing, the "loss" of the rights and/or its constitutional authority as
result from the required provisions to be tested.
Against legal standing (legal standing), DPR
argues that the Regrettable by the applicant is not
the question of the constitutionality of the norm but the problem of applying the norm.
According to the House view Norma Section 65 KUHAP is not contradictory
with the constitution, the norm is indispenable to protect the rights-
the rights of the suspect and the accused are either in the process of being encoded or in
the proceedings of the proceedings in the Court. Nevertheless, the House remains
handing over fully to the Chief Justice/Assembly of Justice
The mulya Constitution to consider and assess whether or not
The applicant has a legal standing (legal standing) as set
in Article 51 of paragraph (1) MK Act as well as Constitutional Court Paragraph
Perkara Number 066 /PUU-III/2005 and Perkara Number 011 /PUU-V/2007.
2. Testing Law No. 8 of 1981 on Criminal Events Law (KUHAP)
40
The applicant in the plea a quo outlines that the right
constitutionality has been harmed in connection with the "interpretation" of the Article
65 KUHAP provided by the investigator. The applicant stated
disadvantaged with the "interpretation" of the provisions of Article 65 of the KUHAP
which states that, "Investigators, General Prosecuting, and Judges are not
has an obligation to examine the witnesses and or someone which
has a special expertise to provide a description
favorable results and is filed by the Suspect/Defendants".
Further, according to the Interpretation Applicant such as it contradicts
with Article 28D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution.
Against the view of the applicant, the DPR gives
the following description:
1) That, the constitution has provided a guarantee of protection as well as
equal treatment before the law to any citizen
country. In accordance with this, the provisions of Section 65
KUHAP entitus a suspect or defendant to
attempt and file a witness and/or someone who
has special skills to provide the information that
benefits for itself. The subject of a suspect or defendant's law
entitled by Article 65 of the Criminal Code contains the meaning:
a. If a person is statable, means the right to
attempt and file a witness and/or someone who
has the expertise given to the investigation level, whereas
b. If a person is statable, means the right to attempt to
and submit a witness and/or someone with the expertise
given at the prosecution level at the examination in Court.
2) Thus it is so it is clear that the provisions of Article 65
KUHAP have given the suspect the right to attempt
and submit witnesses and/or someone who has expertise
is given at the inquiry level. While in the field practice
as outlined by the applicant there is an institution which
has the authority to perform the inquiry cannot or
not to fulfill the rights of the suspect as to be spoilt for the Article
41
65 KUHAP, it is not a matter of the constitutionality of the norm
but a matter of applying the norm.
3) the material test request submitted by the applicant is
in connection with the Interpreting and the application of the norm by instance
that is judged inconstitutionally by the applicant interpretation
the investigator instance states that there is no obligation to
investigators to examine the witnesses and/or expert witnesses to provide
a favorable captions that are ushered in and submitted by
suspect/defendant.
4) That, the House argued that an interpretation by the investigator's agency
against Article 65 a quo states that investigators would not
have an obligation to call and examine expert witnesses that
benefits for The suspect in the examination at the level
investigation is not an issue that is the authority of the Court
The Constitution, the House of Representatives argues that "the interpretation" of an article is not
can be moveable for a material test at MK. This is in line with
the provisions of Article 51 of the paragraph (3) of the MK Act that govern about the material of
the charge of the Act that can be moted to be tested. Section 51
paragraph (3) of the Act of MK states, " In a request as referred to in paragraph (2), the applicant is required to outline clearly
that:
a. the creation of the Act does not meet the provisions
under the Basic Law of 1945; and/or
b. the charge material in the paragraph, section, and/or section of the Act
is considered contrary to the 1945 Constitution ".
5) under Section 51 paragraph (3) the letter b of the MK Act, then the charge material
the laws that may be submitted are the charge
contained in the paragraph, section, and/or section of the Act which is subject to the contrary. Constitution 1945. Thus the issue of interpretation and application norms of Article 65 of the Criminal Code is not
being the authority of the Constitutional Court to examine and
discontinue it.
42
Based on those descriptions, the House pleads if the Chairman/Assembly
The noble Constitution Judge gives an amar the verdict as follows:
1. Stating that a quo was rejected for all or at least
certifiable a quo could not be accepted;
2. The DPR's description was accepted for the whole;
3. Stating that Article 65 of the Criminal Code and the explanation are not contrary to
Article 28D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution;
4. Stating Article 65 of the KUHAP remains a binding legal force.

something that happened at the trial was quite appointed in the Event News
The trial, and is one unseparable unity with
This disconnect;
3. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS

about Power
2009 number 157, additional Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia No. 5076),
one of the constitutional powers of the Court is to test the Act
against the Act of Law. Base;
[3.4] Draws That A Quo is about testing
The in casu Act of the KUHAP against the 1945 Constitution, so that the Court
is authorized to examine, prosecute, and cut down the a quo;
Legal standing (legal standing) of the petitioners
[3.5] Consider that under Article 51 of the paragraph (1) MK Act and
The explanation, which may act as the applicant in testing an
Act against the Constitution of 1945 is those who regard the right
and/or authority The Program is a unit of use for which the Program can be used for the purpose of the Program. Individual citizens of Indonesia, including groups of people
have shared interests;
b. the unity of the indigenous law society as long as it is alive and in accordance with
the development of the society and the principle of the Republic of the Republic of Indonesia
which is set in Undang-Undang;
c. the public or private legal entity; or

[3.6] It is also that the Court since the Number 006 /PUU-III/
2005 is dated May 31, 2005 and Putermination Number 11 /PUU-V/2007 is dated 20
September 2007 and subsequent rulings have been established that

51 paragraph (1) The MK bill must meet five terms, namely:
44
a. the rights and/or constitutional authority of the applicant given by

e. It is possible that with the request of a request, then
the rights and/or constitutional rights losses such as the postured is not

[3.7] Draws That Based On The Description In
paragraph [3.5] and paragraph [3.6] above, next the Court will consider the legal standing (legal standing) the applicant
in the a quo request as follows:
1. That according to the applicant, the applicant who is a person of the citizens
the Indonesian state which together has interests that
is equal to the profession as an Advocate, so that if associated with
the type of loss rights and/or constitutional authority that must be specific and
actual, then the constitutional loss experienced by the applicant
is included in the type of potential loss that is according to reasoning
that reasonable may be It will happen. In this case, if at a time the
applicant is a suspect or a defendant, then the
The applicant will have a constitutional loss resulting from
the erroneously misinterpretation of the apparatus. law enforcement (in casu
Investigators, General Prosecuts, and Judges), in this case the right to the suspect or
the defendant to file a witness and/or an expert favorable to
a suspect or a defendant is well at the investigation level nor at the level
the trial as set in Section 65 of the KUHAP, may be rejected by
The law enforcement apparatus for the reason there is no obligation for the apparatus
such law enforcement to receive and examine witnesses and/or experts
filed by the suspect or the accused.
45
2. That the same element of interest from the petitioners, is in the interest of
to prevent the onset of constitutional losses that ponticiates will occur
and experienced alone by the petitioners. In addition, in addition to the applicant
standing as an individual of the Indonesian state, the applicant
also has the same profession or job, as the Advocate
under Article 1 of the Act. Number 18 of 2003
about Advocates, stated that: " Advocates are persons of the profession
provide legal services, both inside and outside the courts that meet
terms under the terms of the This legislation. "
[3.8] It weighed that by basing on Article 51 of the paragraph (1) Act MK
and the Court's ruling on legal standing (legal standing)
as well as being associated with the loss experienced by the applicant as
is mentioned in paragraph [3.5], paragraph [3.6], and paragraph [3.7], according to the Court:
1. The applicant has a constitutional right granted by the 1945 Constitution,
in particular Article 28D paragraph (1) and paragraph (2), and the petitioners consider
that the constitutional right is harmed by the enactment of the Act
on the mohoned testing;
2. The applicant as an individual citizen of Indonesia, potential
was harmed by Article 65 of the KUHAP that did not expressly require investigators,
the public prosecutor and judge to call and examine the witnesses who
favorable for the a suspect or a defendant who is the subject of testing
The a quo Act, as the petitioners in their position as
the individual are not closed likely to be a suspect or
the defendant;
3. There is a causal link (causal verband) between the intended loss
by the enactment of the testing Act;
[3.9] Balanced That Based On Such Consideration, The Court
argues the The applicant as an individual citizen of Indonesia has
legal standing (legal standing) to submit this request;
[3.10] It is balanced that by the case the court is inspeting,
prosecute, and severing a quo, and the petitioners have
46
legal standing (legal standing), next the Court will
consider the subject of the applicant;
The opinion of the Court
The subject of the plea
[3.11] weighed that of the subject The applicant's request is to test
Article 65 of the KUHAP against the Constitution of 1945;
[3.12] It is based that under the control of the applicant,
the government captions, the Representative of the House, and the facts revealed at
The trial, the legal issue to be considered by the Court
is about i) the rights of the witness submission by the suspect and the accused; and ii)
The liability of witness summoning by the investigator, the public prosecutor and the judge both at
the inquiry level and at the level of the trial. To answer the issue
the law provides consideration as follows:
[3.13] A draw that against Article 65 of the Criminal Code as long as it relates to
the right of the suspect to bear witness, it has been expressly clear. Specified in Article
116 KUHAP is that the investigator is required to call and inspect the witness who
is filed by the suspect, but the question is in practice, as
has been considered in the verdict Number 65 /PUU-VIII/2010, August 8
2011 investigators often ignore and do not call or examine the witness
who was filed by the suspect on the grounds that the witness was not required
in order of the inquiry's interest because investigators assessed the witness filed
The suspect did not meet the qualifications that was a witness which sees itself, hears
alone and experiencing its own. In regards to that, in the practice of often
a witness filed by the suspect was rejected by investigators on the grounds
not relevant, though the witness has not been examined. This resulted in the right-
the rights of the suspects guaranteed by the law were ignored. In relation to the testing of the article
that, the Court has dropped its ruling which states
that Article 1 is 26 and number 27; Article 65; Article 116 of the paragraph (3) and paragraph (4);
as well as Section 184 of the paragraph (1) of the letter of the Act No. 8 Year 1981 on
Law of Criminal Events (State Sheet of the Republic of Indonesia 1981 Number
76 and Additional Gazette Republic of Indonesia Number 3209) was
contrary to the Constitution of the Republic of the Republic of Indonesia Indonesia of the Year
47
1945 the understanding of the witnesses in such sections is not defined
including " the person who can provide the caption
the investigation, prosecution, and the judiciary of a criminal offence not always he
listen to himself, he sees himself and he naturally himself ". Therefore a request
The applicant along regarding the investigator ' s obligation to call and
examine the witness as referred to the section a quo there is no need to be considered
again. Thus the applicant ne bis in idem;
[3.14] weighed that against the Applicant relating to
the judge ' s obligation to call and examine the favorable witness
the defendant in the trial, According to the Court, it has been expressly
specified in Section 160 of the paragraph (1) of the letter c. KUHAP that states, " In case
there are witnesses either favorable and incriminating the defendant
listed in the case of the controversy and or the requested defendant
or Legal counsel or public prosecutor during a hearing or
before the verdict, the speaker of the court is required to hear the caption
The witness ". As such, the favorable witness sense for
the accused in Article 65 of the KUHAP must be attributed to the provisions of Article 160
paragraph (1) of the letter c KUHAP, so that the judge is required to call and examine the witnesses
that is advantageous that was submitted by the defendant or legal advisor;
As for the understanding of the witnesses referred to in Article 65 of the Criminal Code has been decided
by the Court in the Decree No. 65 /PUU-VIII/2010, August 8, 2011;
Thus the plea The applicant ne bis in idem;
[3.15] weighed that based on All of the legal considerations that
described above, the Court argued for the applicant ne bis in
idem;
4. KONKLUSI
Based on the assessment of the facts and laws as described in
above, the Court concluded:
[4.1] The court is authorized to examine, prosecute, and disconnect
a request;
48
[4.2] The petitioners have legal standing (legal standing) to
apply a quo;
[4.3] Perrmolawsuit the applicant ne bis in idem;
