Abstract In carrying out their duties and authorities, notaries are given legal protection as in Article 66 paragraph 1 of Law Number 2 of 2014 (UUJN). In the Constitutional Court Decision No. 16/PUUXVi/2020, the judge rejected the lawsuit of the plaintiff PJI (Indonesian Prosecutors Associatio. on the basis that the plaintiff did not have legal standing. This study aims to analyze the Constitutional Court Decision No. 16/PUU-XVi/2020 regarding the examination and summoning of Notaries by the Prosecutor. This research, normative legal research, is conducted with a statute approach using the theory of authority, namely by reviewing and analyzing regulations related to the legal issues being addressed. The results show that the decision provides special protection to the duties of Notary, but also weakens the position of the Prosecutor in summoning the Notary. Article 66 of the UUJN overlaps with Article 1 paragraph . of the Prosecutor's Office Law which authorizes the Prosecutor as a Civil Servant with a functional position that has the specificity to carry out its duties, functions and authorities based on the law. Efforts need to be made by Prosecutors and Investigators to prevent and eradicate criminal acts involving Notaries without violating human rights and the rights of Notaries regulated by law.

INTRODUCTION The existence of Notary in Indonesia is recognized in the provisions of Article II of the Transitional Rules (AP) of the 1945 Constitution. Notary is one of the state officials appointed by the Minister of Law and Human Rights, as an extension of government for the sake of the state, whose position is very important and needed in people's lives to assist and serve people who need authentic written evidence of circumstances, events, or legal (Ramadhani.

Notaries are required to work with high professionalism and credibility and independently and can cause problems such as a relationship between a notary and a client. For this reason, the Government of the Republic of Indonesia through the Minister of Law and Human Rights established an institution that oversees Notaries and the public who use Notary services through the Notary Honor Council (MKN). MKN is referred to in article 66 of the Notary Position Law, has the authority to grant permission for examination and summoning of Notaries by the Police. Prosecutors and Judges as well as parties who are aggrieved by the actions of the notary. (Hably and Djajaputra 2.

In contrast to a Notary, if a Notary is suspected of committing a criminal offense, the investigation stage includes submitting a request for summons and examination of the notary suspected of committing a criminal offense through the Notary Honor Council. According to Yahya Harahap, investigation is a series of actions to seek and find circumstances or events related to crimes and criminal acts or alleged criminal (Ramiyanto 2. According to Lawrence Friedman, there are 3 . elements in the legal system, namely legal substance or material, legal institutions and legal culture. The first element is general rules and legal principles. The second element refers to the overall organization, institution and officials, including legislative, executive and judicial bodies and their agencies, such as government bureaucracy, courts, prosecutors, police, and specialized fields such as lawyers and notaries. The third element is the actual element that refers to the overall decision or behavior related to the first element. (Carrillo 2.

The theory of separation of powers was further developed by Montesquieu, dividing power into judicial power, legislative power and executive power. (Suherman 2. The Criminal Procedure Code stipulates in Article 1 paragraph . that Investigators in the judicial power are Indonesian National Police Officers or certain Civil Servant Officers (PPNS) who are given special authority to conduct investigations in accordance with the law. Furthermore, the Police are also given the authority in Law Number 2 of 2002 concerning the Indonesian National Police. (UndangUndang Kepolisian 2. The Attorney General's Office occupies judicial power through Law No. 16 of 2004 which has been amended to Law No. 11 of 2021 concerning the Public Prosecution Service. The Attorney General's Office is a government agency in the field of prosecution and other judicial bodies that exercise state power according to law. Apart from the field of criminal justice prosecution, the Attorney General's Office plays a role in the process of investigating criminal cases. (Undang-Undang Kejaksaan 2. This role is contained in Article 1 point 1 of the Prosecutor's Office Law and Article 1 point 6 letters . and article 13 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which basically states: "Prosecutors are functional officials authorized by law to act as public prosecutors and executors of court decisions that have obtained permanent legal force as well as other powers based on law.

This occurred when Applicant II as the prosecutor handling the criminal case of giving false information into an authentic deed, where the case was followed up by investigators of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police Headquarters through the Director of Economic and Special Crimes had sent a letter to the Chairman of the Notary Honor Council of West Java Province, which basically conveyed a request that approval be given to conduct an examination of the notary on behalf of PTIG as a witness. MKN has given an answer stating that there are no sufficient and objective clues that PTIG has knowledge of the reported case. Petitioner II stated that UUJN Article 66 Paragraph 1 concerning "approval of the Notary Honor Council" greatly hampers and impedes the process of fair law enforcement.

Then in 2014 due to the Decision of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number 49/PUUX/2012, the government enacted Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning the Notary Position (UUJN) as a replacement for Law Number 30 of 2004.

Article 23 paragraph 4 of the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Number 7 of 2016 concerning the Notary Honor Council states that Upon a request submitted by an investigator, public prosecutor or judge, the Regional Chairman of MKN must provide an answer in the form of approval or rejection of the request of the investigator, public prosecutor or judge, within a period of no later than 30 days from the date of receipt of the request, further Article 23 paragraph 5 of the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Number 7 of 2016 concerning the Notary Honor Council, namely If the period of 30 days from the date of receipt of the request has passed, the Regional MKN Chairman does not or has not provided an answer, it is deemed that the Regional MKN Chairman accepts the request for approval submitted by the Investigator.

MKN will form an Examination Team consisting of 3 . people representing each element of MKN Regional members then make a schedule for examination hearings and summons the parties. (Hermawan and Abdul Chalim 2. The role of the examination team in this case has the authority to declare rejecting the request of law enforcement or accepting the request of law enforcement to hold a notary summons by law enforcement. Related to MKN accepting the summoning of notaries by law enforcement, in this case if there has been a violation of office by the notary in carrying out his duties. In article 32 paragraph . Permenkumham No. 17 of 2021 states that the approval or rejection of the request of Investigators. Public Prosecutors and Judges against a Notary is based on the results of the examination and decision of the Regional Honor Council Plenary meeting which is not regulated in the previous Permenkumham. The juridical consequence of summoning a notary by law enforcement without being preceded by an MKN examination is that the summons is illegal and unlawful. In Soerjono Soekanto's opinion, the approval given by MKN to law enforcement must pay attention to the elements, namely Regulations. Apparatus. Implementation and Community conditions. (Nugraha 2. The role of the Notary Honor Council in providing protection for notaries suspected of committing criminal acts does not necessarily have to go through MKN first, but notaries are allowed to come directly to law enforcement to provide information without being preceded by an examination by MKN. MKN's legal protection of notaries is given as protection of the position of notaries as public officials, but if the notary commits errors or negligence on behalf of the person, the notary will not be given legal protection by MKN. In Habib Adjie's opinion, if there is a Notary who sincerely or voluntarily wants to directly fulfill the summons from the investigator, public prosecutor, or judge, then it is only If there is a Notary who does so, then everything will be his own responsibility with all the legal consequences. (Adjie 2. The presence of a notary without being preceded by an MKN examination and providing information to law enforcers cannot be subject to criminal sanctions because based on Article 1 of the Constitution 50 KUHP states that anyone who commits an act to implement the provisions of the law cannot be punished.

Kartina Pakpahan2. Sartika Sari3 DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54443/sibatik. based on the theory of authority, therefore the authority possessed by MKN in approving the examination of Notaries requested by law enforcers is attributive authority. Brouwer argues that attribution is an authority given to an organ . of government or State institution by an independent legislative body. This authority is original, which is not taken from a previously existing authority. The legislative body creates an independent authority and not an extension of the previous authority and gives it to the competent organ. (Vika Rochmawati 2. In line with that. Indroharto argues that the authority obtained by attribution, namely the granting of new government authority by a provision in the legislation, is born or created a new government authority. (Indroharto 1. Weakness of Prosecutor's Authority in Notary Examination The Functional Position of Prosecutor referred to in paragraph 1 of the Prosecutor's Act is a position of technical expertise in the organization of the Prosecutor's Office which, due to its function, enables the smooth implementation of the duties of the Prosecutor's Office. (Undang-Undang kejaksaan 2. Functional positions strengthen the position of special prosecutors that accommodate the characteristics of prosecutors to optimize the implementation of their duties and functions and strengthen the organization, including the arrangement of concurrent prosecutor assignments outside the prosecutor's office in accordance with the competence and authority of the prosecutor. (Undang-Undang Kejaksaan 2. The Prosecutor's Office is one of the bodies whose functions are related to the power of the Judiciary which is positioned as a government agency. To be appointed as a Prosecutor, one of the requirements that must be met is that he is a Civil Servant. In handling cases by the Public Prosecutor's Office, in the explanation of Article 284 paragraph . KUHAP states that what is meant by all cases are cases that have been submitted to the court, the meaning of "special provisions of criminal procedure as referred to in certain laws" are special provisions of criminal procedure as referred to, among others: Law on the investigation, prosecution and trial of economic crimes (Undang-Undang No. 7 tahun 1.

(Zoelva 2. According to HIR and RBG, the reasons for the inadmissibility of a lawsuit/application can be caused by invalid power of attorney, lack of legal interest, premature application, and applications outside of competence, including: (Saleh 1.

The power of attorney referred to may be by notarial deed, by deed made by the Registrar of the District Court within whose jurisdiction the person granting the power of attorney resides or actually resides, or by deed under hand legalized and registered in accordance with the Ordinantie in Stbl 1916 No. Public servants who, according to general regulations, act as representatives of the state, no special power of attorney is required. The District Court is authorized to order that the parties who have given power of attorney, be present in person at the hearing, this authority does not apply to the President. Based on the explanation above, the author argues that the basis for the Constitutional Court's rejection of the a-quo case with the decision "cannot be accepted" is correct. The special power of attorney requirements is cumulative, which means that if one of the requirements is not fulfilled, it results in a defect in the power of attorney, which in itself means that the position of the power of attorney as a formal party representing the power of attorney becomes invalid. In addition, there is a Memorandum of Understanding between the Indonesian National Police with Ikatan Notaris Indonesia (No. Pol: B/1056/V/2006 No: 01/MOU/PPINI/V/2. Article 1 paragraph . states that legal actions carried out by investigators in the form of summoning, examination, confiscation and other actions according to the law that are responsible in accordance with Article 7 paragraph . letter j of KUHAP, can also be carried out to Notary-Land Deed Officials (PPAT), both as witnesses and suspects, especially in relation to a criminal act in the making of Notary-PPAT deeds, in accordance with the provisions of Article 66 Undang-Undang No. 30 year 2004 about the Notary Position (UUJN).

In Article 7 paragraph . of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), there is an explanation of Article 109 of the Criminal Procedure Code which states that in the case of notification by the Investigator as in Article 6 paragraph . letter b, it is carried out through the Investigator mentioned in Article 6 paragraph . letter a, namely the Police Investigator.

According to M. Reza Berawi, equality before the law is related to the need for summons and the presence of Notary in the examination of criminal cases, both as Experts. Witnesses and Suspects / Defendants, for the following reasons: (Indriani 2. SIBATIK JOURNAL | VOLUME 2 NO. https://publish. ojs-indonesia. com/index. php/SIBATIK SUMMONING NOTARIES BY PROSECUTORS AFTER THE DECISION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT NUMBER 16/PUU-XVi/2020 Sri Sulistyawati1. Kartina Pakpahan2. Sartika Sari3 DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54443/sibatik. Present as an Expert, in this case the Notary is summoned and needs to be present in the examination of a criminal case as a legal expert authorized to make authentic deeds so that special legal considerations are needed according to his expertise related to the authority and responsibility of the Notary and matters that can provide explanations to Investigators. Public Prosecutors. Judges, and justice seekers. Present as a Witness, in this case the Notary is summoned and needs to be present in the examination of a criminal case, in his capacity as a public official who makes authentic deeds, his testimony is needed regarding what is seen, heard and supporting evidence in the making of the authentic deed, whether or not there are indications of criminal acts in the process. Present as a suspect, in this case the Notary is summoned and needs to be present in the examination of a criminal case as a suspect based on preliminary evidence so that it is suspected that there is a criminal act committed by the Notary as an authentic deed maker, either alone or jointly, which is found by the Investigator, so that the Notary must be accountable for the act before the law. Through a search of cases in the Supreme Court directory, there are decisions that ensnare Notaries in criminal cases after the emergence of the Notary Honor Council in Law Number 2 of 2014, some examples of which are: Notary HN. Found guilty of Embezzlement Crime (Article 14 letter . KUHP). (Salinan Putusan Banding Nomor: 446/Pid/2017/PTMDN. Putusan No. 203/Pid. b/2017/PN. Mdn Notary NI.

Based on the above example, the "protection and certainty of a just law" and "equality in law" which are constitutional rights of every Indonesian citizen as well as recognition of human rights have been implemented. The existence of the Notary Honor Council in the Notary Position Law does not prevent the judicial process for Notaries involved in criminal acts, the existence of MKN is a form of disciplinary examination of Notaries to protect the notary protocol, not against notaries if they commit crimes. The implications for the Prosecutor's Office in the decision of the a-quo case due to the invalid power of attorney and/or the plaintiff not having legal standing in the a-quo case show the weakness of the Prosecutor's Office so that it makes the Prosecutor's Office revise Law No. 16 of 2004 amended to Law No. 11 of 2021 concerning the Prosecutor's Office, several articles are inserted in the material of the Prosecutor's authority. Among them, in Law No. 16 of 2004, article 30 consists of article 30 paragraph 1 letter a to letter e, paragraph 3 letter a to letter f. In Law No. 11 of 2021, between article 18 and article 30, article 31 is inserted 3 articles, namely articles 30A, 30B and 30C. (Undang-Undang Kejaksaan 2. The provisions of Article 18 paragraph . are amended to read: "The Attorney General together with the Minister who organizes government affairs in the field of law and / or other ministers appointed by the President may become a power of attorney in handling cases in the Constitutional Court.

Kartina Pakpahan2. Sartika Sari3 DOI: https://doi. org/10. 54443/sibatik. Based on the analysis above, the author argues that the position of the Prosecutor's Office is institutionally under the executive power of the Judiciary which gets a direct mandate from the 1945 Constitution. In terms of authority in carrying out the duties and functions of the Public Prosecutor's Office, it is part of the judicial power, namely the prosecution institution that has received attribution from the Government through Law No. 16 of 2004 as amended by Law No. 11 of 2021 concerning the Public Prosecutor's Office, thus the Public Prosecutor's Office as a Public Prosecutor can summon a Notary as a witness, defendant or take photocopies of the Deed Minute and / or letters attached to the Deed Minute or Notary Protocol in the Notary's storage in the interests of the judicial process in various cases both in civil, criminal or state administration by requesting the approval of the Notary Honor Council in advance. Legal Certainly of Constitutional Court Decision Number 16/PUU-XVi/2020 Legal certainty is contained in the norms in Article 66 paragraph . and paragraph . of the 2014 UUJN, namely creating fair legal certainty regarding the limits of the authority of the Notary Honor Council to give approval and protection to Notaries as public officials who are obliged to keep the secrets of their position. The existence of the Notary Honor Council is not to provide protection to Notaries without basis and deny the public interest of the wider community. In Article 27 of Permenkumham Number 7 of 2016 as amended by Article 31 of Permenkumham Number 25 of 2020, it is stipulated that the taking of minutes of deeds and/or letters can be done in the case of: Suspicion of a criminal offense related to the minutes of deeds and/or letters attached to the minutes of deeds or Notary protocol in the Notary's custody. The right to prosecute has not been waived based on the provisions on expiry in the laws and regulations in the field of criminal law. There is a denial of the validity of the signature from one or more of the parties. Suspicion of a reduction or addition to the minutes of the deed. Suspicion that the Notary has postponed the date . The examining panel in conducting its consideration to grant approval or rejection of the Notary examination, by first hearing direct testimony from the Notary who will be the object of examination. If the results of the examination are based on the information provided by the Notary and the conditions contained in Article 31 Permenkumham Number 25 of 2020 have been fulfilled, then there is no reason for the Examining Panel not to give approval to the request for examination of the Notary.

The authority of the Notary Honor Council is regulated in Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning the amendment of Law Number SIBATIK JOURNAL | VOLUME 2 NO. https://publish. ojs-indonesia. com/index. php/SIBATIK SUMMONING NOTARIES BY PROSECUTORS AFTER THE DECISION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT NUMBER 16/PUU-XVi/2020 Sri Sulistyawati1.

Prosecutors. Investigators and / or other law enforcers are required to seek approval from the Notary Honor Council when summoning a Notary as a suspect, witness, or expert and taking photocopies of the Deed Minute and / or letters attached to the Deed Minute or Notary Protocol in the Notary's storage in the interests of the judicial process in various cases both in civil, criminal and state administration. Suggestions A law on the procedural law of the Office of Notary must be drafted immediately to reshape the law that enforces the law on the examination of Notary procedures based on Reglemen Acara Perdata, because Notaries and the Notary Honor Council need a legal umbrella in carrying out the Notary protocol in protecting state archives. Law enforcement officials in carrying out law enforcement against notaries suspected of committing criminal acts against the law must comply with the Constitutional Court Decision Number 16/PUUXVi/2020, because the decision has binding and final legal force. Notaries in carrying out their duties and positions must obey the law in accordance with the Notary Position Law and the notary code of ethics, so as to avoid criminal cases. In addition, it is necessary to make efforts that can be made by prosecutors and investigators in preventing and eradicating criminal acts involving notaries after the Constitutional Court Decision Number 16/PUUXVi/2020.
