However, not all residents of RW occupies a land of, three ha claimed the family Muller.

Home Soleh is one of the forty other houses that do not enter into the land dispute. Soleh said the land they occupy is customary land that now rightfully belongs to each resident. “My land that doesn't make called got Muller. If you want to see the map, it's a sign in the ground that is claimed to Muller there on top of that, from mr RW Asep, ” said Soleh while pointing to the direction of the north. The north side of the house Soleh is a densely populated, still within the scope of the RW. The street is narrow, just enough passed two motors. Cars don't go up to the front of the house, just up behind the Terminal Dago or are forced to park in front of the Hall RW. Limits the north side of the land claimed by the Mulller is bordered by apartments that are newly built. One of the houses in the north side is occupied Epul inherited from her parents.

The man who is now aged forty-one years this still remember when the land in Dago Elos still dirimbuni the garden and the Terminal Dago newly built. Although the entrance in the area so the disputes, the family Epul didn't get a lawsuit from the family of Muller, contrary to the Dharma. The peculiarity demands not only that.

Originally on top of the ground it stands factory N

A number of citizens also get more than one letter a lawsuit with the different names there are also names of citizens who had already died. Although there is a discrepancy in the demands, on twenty-four August twenty, the Court of Bandung State won a lawsuit the family Muller are represented by the power law, Alvin Wijaya Kesuma.

Bandung district court decided that the land that rightfully belongs to Muller though only armed with proof of ownership letter from the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The verdict of the court-ordered so the citizens of the defendant, who've lived down through the generations, leaving the land in Dago Elos. Residents are also burdened with the cost of things Rp million. Although there is a decree, the citizens adamant to survive. Citizens holding a corroboration of their establishment, which shows another version of the status of the land now occupied them. The first is the family version of the Muller.

Based on the verdict of the trial, the land there is legitimate belongs to the family of Muller.

The land was obtained George Hendrik Muller, grandfather of three of the plaintiff, from the results of the transition of the owner of the land before, namely PT Cement Tiles Handeel Simoengan in. However, in the certificate of ownership of land from the Kingdom of the Netherlands brought to the court, it is written that the land was owned by PT Cement Tiles Handeel Simoengan. try to get an explanation of the power law family of Muller, Alvin Wijaya Kesuma. Unfortunately, Alvin is reluctant to provide information related to the dispute and ownership of the land. “Sorry, the heirs do not allow me as the recipient of the power to provide a description and any information to anyone, ” he wrote via text message, the beginning of last December. Another version came from the Chairman of the RW, Asep ma'mun. Asep is one of the elders of the Village Dago Elos and tenants of land there first.

He is said to have a complete document related to the status of the land that is now occupied.

“There have been no devolution. This land belongs to the plant Simoengan.

Now so the ground is controlled by the state.

Not have Muller, ” said Asep told reporters According to the story Asep, on twenty, the National Land Agency of the City of Bandung never wrote Rahmul, who claim as heirs of George Hendrik Muller. In essence, the land was never recorded as the property of George Hendrik Muller. After independence, land used rights Interests Verponding it's not owned by anyone. Until finally in, a citizen named Nini Karim and some other people who occupy most of the land is the former property of the factory Simoengan sent increase rights. They filed a land area of, two hectares as the Right of use of Buildings and approved by the government. “That land has now been certified SHM and legitimate property of citizens. So now there is four hectares which has not been certified.

The question is, why the two hectares so it could disertifikatkan.

If indeed it is the right of inheritance Muller, surely can't be so SERIOUS.

Benchmark I that's it and BPN was already said, it's not the land's Muller, ” said Asep.

Lawsuit the family of Muller, who by the citizens of impressed sudden raises the question: why now.

No satisfactory answers to the citizens. The speculation that arises is the construction of apartments MAJ in Dago Elos that stalled because of the need of land for Green Open Space. The position of the apartment belongs to Gita Wirjawan, former trade minister the era of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, it was right at the back of the Kampung Dago Elos. At the time almost simultaneously with the needs of the land the apartment of MAJ, family Muller also initiated a lawsuit.

Apparently Muller brothers are not alone.

He sued with PT Dago Inti Graha, a property company in Bandung. The involvement of PT Dago Inti Graha because the Interests Verponding who claimed to belong to the family of Muller's already handed over their rights to PT Dago Inti Graha. This company is a new company founded on four August twenty. Director of the company that Jo Budi Hartanto, as well as Erwin Senjaya Hartanto as a director and Lionny Sutisna as commissioner. The largest share of the company held by Jo Budi, namely Rp billion, while Erwin and Lionny each Rp, five billion. Although PT Dago Inti Graha is a new company, but Jo Budi and Erwin is not new entrepreneurs. Jo Budi is the owner of textile company PT Tridayamas Sinarpusaka, while Erwin is his son who works there. In addition, Erwin has a PT Pusaka Mas Persada, company housing developer to build a Green Sukamanah Residence in Rancaekek, Bandung Regency. The defeat of the citizens Dago Elos doesn't make them necessarily give up. Although some people resigned, but most continue to fight to defend their place of residence. The original citizen facing a lawsuit court without a lawyer, is now accompanied by the public advocate from the Legal Aid society of Bandung.

However, before the appeal is filed, residents should think of the cost of the case amounting to Rp million as orders of the ruling PN Bandung at the end of August.

To bear the cost of it, people also make the strategy of collecting funds. Each of the residents asked for donations sepunya them. Dodon, one of the residents who take care of the funds, said residents make the effort together with the profits donated to the cost of the court. This business started from selling juice to the jualan cireng. However, until the approaching day of payment, there is still a shortage of funds to Rp million. The cost is finally covered with the owe it to the citizens who have more money. This debt will be paid with the effort to make any attempt and search donation. Hirson Charisma, the power of the legal citizens of Dago Elos of LBH Bandung, said he shared the residents have appealed the ruling PN Bandung.

One of the points appealed about the status of the land certificate from the Kingdom of the Netherlands that never transferred to the three Muller brothers.

“Besides, it is also about irregularities in the lawsuit: there's a dead person sued.

This, right, chaotic.

How could a lawsuit like this is won.

” said Hirson.

When citizens fight through the appeals process, the Government of Bandung City, the master Terminal Dago, precisely silent.

Government Mayor Ridwan Kamil's don't appeal to defend the territory of the public.

Similarly, the Post Office Dago that was not appealed. “This is quite strange, why would they not appeal.

But we don't want to think about it.

We focus on the appeal itself, struggling self, ” said Hirson.
