As we know, a criminal procedure can be divided into two parts, the preliminary investigation and the trial before the court.


The trial before the court is, as a rule, open for the public and based upon the accusatorial principle, according to which the accused person and the public prosecutor have to be considered and treated as two equal parties having a dispute before an impartial judge.


Under the control of public opinion there will be held a debate between the two parties, fairly and with the guarantee that the accused person or the defense counsel will have the last turn to speak.


There is also a general principle that the accused person during the preliminary investigation is based upon the regulations now in force in Indonesia.


The laws concerning the criminal procedure are contained in the “Reglemen Indonesia yang Diperbaharui” meaning the “Revised Indonesian Regulation,” promulgated in the Dutch Colonial time (in the year 1941), and being a revision upon the old Reglemen Indonesia, which originated from the year 1848.


The “Revised Indonesian Regulation” foresaid, further to be called “The Regulation,” contains in its whole the law of procedure, both the criminal and the civil procedure, as being in force before the Pengadilan Negeri, that is the District court, the court of first instance.
