State Administrative Court Orders the Governor of West Sumatera to Revoke 26 Permits of Non-Clean and Clear Minings within 5 Days
After 10 trial hearings since 19 September 2017, on 20 October 2017 at 14.00 local time, the Assembly of Judges in Padang State Administrative Court read their judgment in the Case Number 2/P/FP/2017/PTUN-PDG on Request to Obtain Judgment regarding Permit Request (Positive Fictive) applied by LBH Bandung against the Governor of West Sumatera.
In their judgment, the Assembly of Judges granted the requests of LBH Padang to revoke the permits of 26 Mining Permits that are Non-Clean and Clear in West Sumatera. The members of the assembly were Zabdi Palangan and M. Afif, presided by Harisman.
The Judges opined that YLBHI-LBH Padang is an organisation who actively supports the law enforcement, researches, criticizes policies and does environment advocacies including minerals and coals, so we have a legal standing in the case. The Judges affirm that under the Law No. 23 Year 2014 the authority to revoke the mining permits lies with the Governor and thus orders the Governor to revoke the 26 mining permits which are non-clean and clear (Non CNC) within 5 days.
