End of Gibran's Educational Document Lawsuit, Certificate Revoked, Case Dismissed at PTUN

The judge also explained that the dismissal aims to end the prolonged polemic that could lead to disruptions in the execution of government duties.

"In order to put an end to the prolonged polemic that may cause disturbances in government duties related to resolving the problems of the people, nation, and state, this dismissal ruling does not allow for further examination or proof and cannot be subjected to legal recourse," stated the judge.

Response from Gibran's Camp

On the other hand, Gibran's attorney, Rullyandi, plans to present the PTUN Jakarta ruling to his client before determining the next steps.

The legal team will first report the outcomes of the hearing, including the panel's decision to dismiss the lawsuit regarding Gibran's high school equivalency certificate.

"We will promptly report the results of today's hearing (to Gibran), the ruling that has been read by the judges, and we will await his response as well," said Rullyandi.

He indicated that the legal team will also discuss the ruling with Gibran, including considering steps that may be taken after the case's termination.

"We will see how developments unfold; of course, we will first discuss the result of today’s ruling with Mr. Gibran, inform him, and we will be meticulously examining those considerations before making further assessments," Rullyandi added.

Meanwhile, Gibran stated that his decision to step down from the vice presidential position is unrelated to his degree controversy.

"This decision is my personal decision and is not related to my diploma. Once again, it is not related to the diploma," said Gibran on Thursday, as quoted from the Vice Presidential Secretariat's YouTube channel.

"All my educational documents are complete and I have submitted them to the court," he emphasized.
