On March 24, 2015, not long after the Constitutional Court decided to revoke the Law No. 7/2004 on Water Resources, the panel of judges of the Central Jakarta District Court voted in favor of the petition filed by the Coalition Against Water Privatisation in Jakarta. At the time, the Coalition filed the lawsuit to stop the water privatisation in Jakarta implicating two companies, namely PT PAM Lyonnaise Jaya (Palyja) and PT Aetra Air Jakarta (Aetra). In 2016, the Jakarta High Court decided to cancel the district court’s verdict. On the stage of cassation, earlier this year, apparently the Supreme Court decided to upheld the district court’s verdict, but has only been made public this week.
