ANDUNG, W. Java: More than half of the real-estate assets of West Java's provincial administration's have yet to be certified, an official said Monday.

The head of West Java's Justice and Human Rights section, Rudy Gandakusuma, said the province owned 4,451 separate real-estate holdings consisting of 108.3 million square meters of land. The province lacks titles for 55.2 million square meters, a little more than half.

"Currently we are in the process of certifying the assets, so we have the legal documents to protect them and to oppose anyone claiming to be heirs," Rudy said.

Forty-two heirs of one landowner, Kusuma Atmawijaya, filed suit against the province in a Bandung court Monday.

They claimed the administration had not compensated them for the Gasibu land the province had acquired on Jl. Diponegoro, Bandung.

Rudy said the current suit was strange because other people had already filed a civil complaint back in 2007 claiming they were the rightful heirs to the Gasibu land. -- JP
