The need for approval of the Regional Supervisor Council (MPD) for the benefit of the judicial process as set forth in Article 66 paragraph (1) of Law No. 30/2004 of the Notary, according to Petitioner attorney Tomson Situmeang, not required or not so relavan in the judicial process. That was conveyed in a court case Number 49/PUU-X/2012 improvement in the Constitutional Court on Friday (22/6).

"The applicant feels aggrieved by the enactment of this section, all the states with the approval of the Regional Council of Trustees," said Tomson. "Therefore, we consider (Section a quo) in conflict with the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia." (Shohibul Umam / mh/Yazid.tr)
