PN

Sultan Hotel
.
It is known that in its decision the panel of judges stated that the state was the legal owner of the Sultan’s land and hotel in the GBK complex area.
PT Indobuildco’s attorney, Hamdan Zoelva, said that the judge’s decision ignored the principle of legal certainty and had the potential to cause injustice.

Hamdan also said that vacating should only be carried out if the status of land rights has been clearly stated by the court.
“Without that, implementing the decision is seen as a step that is contrary to the principle of objective and constitutional law enforcement,” said Hamdan in his statement, Wednesday (3/12).
Hamdan explained that PT Indobuildco obtained rights to the land based on Minister of Home Affairs Decree No.181/HGB/DA/72 dated 3 August 1972, which was then issued HGB Certificate No.20/Gelora and split into HGB No.26 and No.27 on behalf of PT Indobuildco.
The extension of the HGB in 2002 also confirmed that the HGB stood on state land, not on HPL land.Hamdan said, the entire development, including the Sultan Hotel, was fully funded by PT Indobuildco without any contribution from state funds.
“During more than 50 years of management, the company has fulfilled all tax obligations and has become an economic support for thousands of workers and business partners. PT Indobuildco also emphasizes that it has never relinquished land rights and has never received compensation from any party,” he said.
Furthermore, PT Indobuildco also assesses that implementing the decision to vacate without clarity of ownership status has the potential to disrupt the investment climate.
Apart from that, it also creates legal uncertainty which can harm the confidence of national and international business actors in the Indonesian legal system.
“PT Indobuildco will take all legal measures in accordance with the provisions of the laws and regulations of the Republic of Indonesia to defend the company’s rights and assets and ensure the upholding of the principles of justice and legal certainty,” concluded Hamdan.
Previously, the Central Jakarta District Court (PN) Judge rejected PT Indobuildco’s lawsuit against the Minister of State Secretary (Mensneg) regarding ownership of the Sultan Hotel which was claimed to be standing on state land which was legally granted through Building Use Rights (HGB).
Through two cases number 208/PDT.G/2025/PN.JKT.PST.and 287/PDT.G/2025/PN.JKT.PST, chief judge Guse Prayudi stated that the state is the legal owner of the Sultan’s land and hotel in the GBK complex area.
“Conclusion of case 208: The court stated that the state (via HPL No. 1/Gelora) is the legal owner,” said Central Jakarta District Court spokesperson Sunoto, Friday (28/11).
The panel of judges stated that the Sultan Hotel HGB had been abolished by law since 2023, and PT Indobuildco was obliged to vacate the entire Sultan Hotel area, both land and buildings with a decision that could be executed first (uitvoerbaar bij voorraad).
Meanwhile, through Case 287, PT Indobuildco was sentenced to pay royalties for the use of HPL land for the 2007-2023 period amounting to US$ 45,356,473 which was converted to rupiah when paid.
“The lawsuit for reconvention was rejected. PT Indobuildco was sentenced to court costs of IDR 530,000,” said Sunoto.
