T
he Supreme Court apparently needs to do some headhunting in order to fill the vacant posts left by 10 justices, all of whom retired on Wednesday. They are Abdul Kadir Mappong; Djoko Sarwoko;
Paulus E. Lotulung; Atja Sondjaja; Mieke Komar; Imam Harjadi; Dirwoto; Mansur Kertayasa; Ahmad Sukardja, and Rehngena Purba.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Hatta Ali said at the joint retirement ceremony that these justices, the majority of whom had served on the bench for 40 years, deserved the honor as they had given their utmost contribution to the development of Indonesia's judicial system.
The court now has 51 justices out of the total 60 as stipulated by the law.
"They delivered important rulings that set benchmarks in the the judiciary's history," he said.
"Although you have retired, that does not mean you can no longer contribute to the judiciary. We still need your skills," he added. (dic)
