In this case, the Petitioner pleaded reviewing Act on Attorney No. 16 in 2004 in Article 30 paragraph (1) letter d, reads, "conduct an investigation of certain criminal acts under the legislation." According to the Petitioners argue, the article has been contrary to the constitutional rights. "And declare such article does not provide protection and legal certainty," explained the applicant in the application file.

Moreover, Petitioner also said that the article can not give legal certainty in the handling of the case against him.

While in the Criminal Code Act expressly set of tasks and functions as a prosecutor is the public prosecutor, not as an investigator. Giving rise to multi-interpretations and potentially cause an unconstitutional interpretation. "And Article 30 is also contrary to the principles of recognition, security, protection and legal certainty of fair and equal treatment before the law which is a human right, as set forth in Article 28D paragraph (1) and Article 28 j paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, "Petitioner explained.

"As is where is mentioned as a benchmark of Article 28D j and Article 28 paragraphs (2)," he explained.

After being applied contrary, continued Sodiki, the Applicant must include the Act does not have binding legal force. "Then the test was not associated with norms of behavior and actions of the prosecutor who had exceeded his authority," explains Sodiki.

The last advice was given by Alim. According to him, the Authority of Civil Servant (PNS) can not stand alone; he should be under the coordination by police investigators. "So it does not mean he’s beyond," he explained. Applicant was given 14 days to fix the petition. Do you want to fix it or not, it’s up to you, "he explained. (Shohibul Umam / mh/Yazid.tr)
