Agus Zaenal Anwar

Abstract


This study aims to analyze: 1)Practices regarding absentee ownership of agricultural land rights in Pati Regency. 2) The legal validity of absentee ownership of agricultural land rights in Pati Regency based on applicable laws and regulations. This type of research is an empirical legal research. The approach method in this research is sociological juridical. The types of data in this research are primary and secondary data. The data collection method uses interviews, observations and library techniques (document study). The analysis in this research is descriptive, with the theory of legal certainty and legal validity. The results of the research concluded: 1) The practice of absentee ownership of agricultural land rights in Pati Regency, namely that there are still agricultural land ownerships by rights holders who reside outside the sub-district where the land is located. This practice is basically not in line with Article 10 paragraph (1) of Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Principles and Article 3 of Government Regulation Number 224 of 1961 as amended by Government Regulation Number 41 of 1964, which prohibits absentee ownership of agricultural land with certain exceptions. Based on the analysis of Gustav Radbruch's Theory of Legal Certainty, this condition indicates that legal certainty has not been fully realized, so that consistent implementation and supervision of the prohibition on absentee ownership of agricultural land is needed. 2) The legal validity of absentee ownership of agricultural land rights in Pati Regency must be assessed based on Article 10 of Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Principles, which requires agricultural land owners to actively work or cultivate their own land, as well as Article 3 of Government Regulation Number 224 of 1961 as amended by Government Regulation Number 41 of 1964, which regulates the prohibition on absentee ownership of agricultural land and the obligation to transfer or adjust ownership. These provisions must still pay attention to exceptions for certain subjects as regulated in Government Regulation Number 4 of 1977, including provisions regarding civil servants and retired civil servants. Based on Hans Kelsen's Theory of Legal Validity, ownership can be considered valid if the basis for acquisition, subject, object, transfer process and registration are sourced and in accordance with applicable legal norms.
