he city administration is preparing to file an appeal on the court ruling that annulled the construction permits of islets F, I and K of the Jakarta reclamation project.
The Jakarta State Administrative Court ruled in favor of a coalition of fishermen and environmentalists on March 16, revoking the disputed permits of three islets of the project. The three islets are among 17 man-made islets of the controversial project.
“We are preparing the required documents for the appeal and will file the appeal no later than March 30,” said acting Jakarta governor Sumarsono on Monday as quoted by kompas.com.

According to earlier reports, the court has set March 30 as the deadline for filing an appeal.
Sumarsono claimed that he is not required to report to non-active Jakarta governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama about the appeal.
“I think Ahok understands the legal mechanism. I believe Ahok would agree with the appeal plan,” Sumarsono said. (kkk/dmr)
