DENPASAR – The Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia has officially rejected all cassation petitions filed by PT Bali Turtle Island Development (BTID), the Mayor of Denpasar, the Head of Serangan Village, and the Serangan Traditional Village in the long-running land dispute in Serangan Island.
The decision is contained in Supreme Court Ruling No. 3283 K/PDT/2025, dated 16 October 2025. With this ruling, Ipung (Siti Sapurah, SH), as the plaintiff and lawful heir of the late Daeng Abdul Kadir, has prevailed at all judicial levels, namely the Denpasar District Court, the Denpasar High Court, and the Supreme Court.
Previously, the Denpasar District Court in Decision No. 1161/Pdt.G/2023/PN Dps dated 5 August 2024 ruled that 647 square meters of the disputed land formed part of the legally owned 11,200 square meters belonging to Daeng Abdul Kadir. The court further declared that the defendants’ act of transferring and using the land as a public road constituted an unlawful act.
The ruling ordered PT BTID to pay material damages amounting to IDR 10.5 billion to the plaintiff. This judgment was later affirmed by the Denpasar High Court in Decision No. 212/PDT/2024/PT DPS dated 2 October 2024.
Responding to the Supreme Court ruling, Ipung stated that she will immediately file an application for execution with the Denpasar District Court to secure legal certainty. She emphasized that any Judicial Review (PK) submission does not suspend execution, as stipulated under Article 66 paragraph (2) of Law No. 14 of 1985 on the Supreme Court.
Ipung expressed hope that all defeated parties and law enforcement authorities will comply with and enforce the final and binding court decisions in the interest of upholding the rule of law. **
