Keraton Surakarta heirs, Gusti Ayu Koes Isbandiyah and Kanjeng Pangera Eddy S Wirabhumi filed Act on Central Java Establishment which combines into the Surakarta Central Java Province.

Through attorney Zairin Harahap, they argued, the Act on Establishment of Central Java province has given a different treatment before the law. This is evident from the use of Act No.10 of 1950 as the basis of the incorporation into the Special Region of Yogyakarta in Central Java province, while the Special Region of Yogyakarta made to the Act itself, namely Act 3 of 1950.

Surakarta Special Status legally regulated in Government Establishment 16/SD In 1946 and Vice President of the letter dated 12 September 1949. As a basic law enacted Act no. 10/1950 is Act 22 of 1948 on Regional Government.

"And to this day, no single article or clause in the law that states the elimination of Surakarta status as a special region. Thus the determination of the status of the main features of Surakarta government is legitimate in the eyes of law," explained Harahap before the panel of judges led by Arief Hidayat on Wednesday (26/06/2013).

Petitioners deplore the attitude of the central government who deny the privilege status of Surakarta, with "align" Surakarta together with other areas, such as Semarang, Pati, Pekalongan, Banyumas and Kedu to merge entirely into the province of Central Java. Supposedly according to Petitioner, privileged status makes Surakarta different, as the status of Special Region of Yogyakarta.

No case registered by the applicant. This 63/PUU-XI/2013 in demand or petitum asked the Court declared unconstitutional and not binding on the "Go" I figure Act No.10 of 1950 on the establishment of Central Java province along the words "and Surakarta" and Article 1 paragraph ( 1) all of the words "and Surakarta".
