Judge Maria Farida Indrati asserted, the Court as an institution did not reject Regulation No. 1 Year 2013 concerning the Second Amendment Act No. 24 of 2003 on the Constitutional Court or the Court is often called the Interim Law.

In constitutional law, Maria considers that many polemical PERPU has legitimately become legislation, so that should be respected. "The Court does not reject Regulation No. 1 in 2013, although many consider anti Court against the Government Regulations," said Maria in front of the students of the University of Padjadjaran, Bandung who visited the Court on Monday (18/11)morning.

Although not anti-Government Regulation , but the Court cannot refuse a request for a lawsuit against the Interim Law Court by some people who think the Government Regulation violated procedures and legally incorrect . Until now,said Maria, the Court has received a five- petition claim against the Interim Law Court and the trial has been rolling early last week.

Maria admitted, after the case of the former Chief Justice M. Akil Mochtar, the judges have made changes to the composition of the panel of judges handling cases Election Dispute. It is believed to prevent deviant in the task judge. “In regular panel of judges will be alternated. In contrast to that for this to happen, the panel will always consist of the same three judges. This is what will we change,"explained Maria.

Related proposals that request that the Court no longer handle the Election Dispute and handed it back to the Supreme Court, Maria handed the matter entirely to the policy makers.

As constitutional judges minded statesman, Maria considers that any given task and mandate will always be done in a responsible manner. “Not a problem for us if jurisdiction over election disputes returned to the Supreme Court. It does not matter, I guess," he said. (Julie / mh)
