JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): A university lecturer has challenged the revised Constitutional Court Law that increases the maximum term and minimum age for the court’s justices, arguing that the provisions as well as the deliberation process of the law violate the 1945 Constitution.

The plaintiff, Allan Fatchan Gani, a lecturer at Indonesia Islamic University's (UII) Law School, filed the judicial review petition at the court on Tuesday (Oct 13), challenging both the legislation process and the revised content of the law.
