However, the Petitioner did not attend the hearing without a valid reason," stated Constitutional Justice Enny Nurbaningsih.

According to Article 42 paragraph (2) of Constitutional Court Regulation No. 2 of 2023, "If the Petitioner and/or legal counsel do not attend the preliminary examination without a valid reason, even though they have been lawfully and properly summoned, the Court shall declare the petition dismissed."
