Under the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), which judicial mechanism allows a suspect to challenge the procedural validity of an arrest, detention, or search before a single judge?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Pre-Trial Hearing (Praperadilan)
- Step 1: Praperadilan is regulated under Articles 77–83 of the KUHAP, heard by a single district court judge. Step 2. Following Constitutional Court Ruling No. 21/PUU-XII/2014, praperadilan jurisdiction was expanded to include reviewing the validity of naming someone a criminal suspect (penetapan tersangka). Answer: Pre-Trial Hearing (Praperadilan). Why not the others: Kasasi is appeal to the Supreme Court on points of law.
