Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Medan Administrative Court Decision Number 119/G/2023/PTUN.MDN concerning the cancellation of a Land Ownership Certificate from the perspective of administrative law. This study employs a normative juridical method using statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. The findings show that at the first-instance level, the Medan Administrative Court granted the plaintiffs’ claims, declared Land Ownership Certificate Number 98/Sigaol Marbun null and void, and ordered its revocation. However, the Supreme Court, through Decision Number 607 K/TUN/2024, overturned the decision after accepting the objection concerning absolute jurisdiction and declaring the claim inadmissible. Subsequently, Decision Number 136 PK/TUN/2025 rejected the petition for judicial review. This case demonstrates that the status of a certificate as an administrative government product does not automatically place certificate disputes within the jurisdiction of the Administrative Court. Determining absolute jurisdiction must consider the substance of the dispute and distinguish administrative defects from disputes concerning land rights. This study concludes that examining the validity of an administrative decision must first be preceded by determining the appropriate judicial authority.
