Mataram: September 8, 2022:

Judges are required to mine the material truth behind the formal truth in dealing with the land mafia. The above statement was delivered by Dr. Pri Pambudi Teguh, SH, MH, Supreme Judge at the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia as the sole speaker in a public lecture: "Legal Protection in the Utilization of Land, Assets and Property for Investment and Public Interest" held by the Faculty of Law, Mataram University.

Based on the context, according to Pri Pambudi, there are many parties or individuals exploits the condition for money game by using unlawful means to control and own land or land that does not belong to them by speculating on formal documents that show ownership of land rights that do not actually belong to them.

It is not easy to find and prove the material truth that has been obscured by the land mafia, because they often create alternative truths (post-truth), or lies about the real facts or factual truths.

Therefore, to face and handle various cases of land mafia, Pri Pambudi Teguh, reminded judges of the need to know several indications of land mafia practices, such as (i) the absence of complete legal documents on land objects; (ii) the absence of legal rights (recht titel) or the basis of rights in land ownership and control; and (iii) and irregularities in the process of ownership of land objects.

The above indications can be the beginning of the search or excavation of material truth behind the formal truth proposed by the land mafia. The idea above, according to him, can help the duties and obligations of noral judges in finding the truth which is the basis for a just decision. In addition, examination using the above indicators can prevent the widespread practice of illegal land ownership and control.

Puslitbang Kumdil Head (Kapuslitbang) Andi Akram said in an internal meeting on Monday, June 6, 2022, that the Supreme Court is working on a discourse to change the nomenclature of the Puslitbang into a Policy Strategy Center after the Government officially announced the establishment of BRIN (National Research and Innovation Agency) so the new institution takes over those research function.

The Policy Strategy Center studies Supreme Court policies that support courts' performance throughout Indonesia. The Policy Strategy Center will review the academic draft that will later turn into PERMA, SEMA, and SK KMA. This requires reviewers qualified in their respective fields, be it the General Courts, Religious Courts, Administrative Courts, or Military Courts. Therefore, the academic papers and strategic studies reviewer must be above average so that the results of studies proposed to become Supreme Court policies will significantly support the Judiciary in general.

Therefore, Kapuslitbang hopes that all Puslitbang officers must master the use of the sislitbang application so that the results obtained are also optimal. "Ideally, during the five days of field research activities, filling in the sislitbang application has been completed before the end of the event in the area," he said. 

Kapuslitbang also advised that the development of the Sislitbang application also prioritizes continuous innovation with the development of existing science. "I plan to make Sislitbang my change project after I complete the echelon 2 leadership training currently taking place at the State Administration Institute (LAN)," he said. (BAW)
