Which judicial body holds the sole legal jurisdiction to conduct judicial reviews of Regional Regulations (Peraturan Daerah / Perda) against statutory laws?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia (Mahkamah Agung)
- Step 1: In landmark rulings (e.g., MK Decision No. 137/PUU-XIII/2015), the Constitutional Court struck down the Home Affairs Ministry's executive power to cancel Perda. Step 2. Under Article 24A(1) of the Constitution, judicial review of regulations below statutory law (including Perda) against statutes belongs exclusively to the Supreme Court. Answer: Supreme Court (Mahkamah Agung). Why not the others: The Constitutional Court only reviews statutory acts (Undang-Undang) against the Constitution.
