following:

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

is granted by the Basic Law;

3. broke the dissolution of the political party, and

4. breaking the dispute about the outcome of the general election.

That the authority granted to the Constitutional Court then

corroborate with Article 10 of the paragraph (1) Act No. 24 of 2003

about the Constitutional Court (selanjuntya called the MK Act) that reads,

" The Constitutional Court of authority is prosecuting at first level and

The lastverdict is final for:

a. testing legislation against the Country Basic Law

The Republic of Indonesia in 1945;

b. Cut off a dispute over the authority of the state institution

provided by the State Basic Law of the Republic of Indonesia Year

1945;

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

5

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;

b. Cut off a dispute over the authority of the state institution

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

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

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 philosophy of the Human Rights. Middle range storywas due process of

presumption of innocence.

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.

due to the concept of judicial ethics, not only rules of conduct

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

Because the words of Article 65 are sufficient Obviously, here his words.

18

is a suspect, his legal subject is a suspect, and that

cannot be usured by anyone as well.

[2.3] A draw that the Government submitted a written statement without

date, January 2011 accepted by the Court on the date

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).

21

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

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.

[2.5] weighed that in order to shorten this description, all

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

d. country agencies;

[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

rights and/or constitutional privileges as Article

51 paragraph (1) The MK bill must meet five terms, namely:

44

a. the rights and/or constitutional authority of the applicant given by

Constitution of 1945;

b. the rights and/or the constitutional authority by the applicant is considered

aggrieved by the enactment of the testing Act;

c. the rights and/or constitutional authority should be

by the enactment of the testing Act;

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

will or shall no longer occur;

[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;
