Security forces, including police and the military, tightly controlled the execution of Hotel Sultan's land in Central Jakarta on Thursday. The court's execution order was read out by the clerk of the Central Jakarta District Court, Azhar.
PT Indobuildco, the party against whom the execution was ordered, failed to appear in court. The clerk summoned the company three times, but no representative attended the hearing. This absence occurred as protesters against the execution formed a line in front of the hotel.
An orator addressed the crowd from a command car, rallying opposition to the court's decision. The court's order mandated the return of the land, formerly under HGB 26/Gelora and HGB 27/Gelora, along with any structures on it, to the plaintiffs. The court also stipulated that the costs associated with this execution would be determined by law.
