The second group consisted of The Honorable Andi Syamsu Alam (Deputy Chief Justice for Religious Court Affairs), The Honorable Hatta Ali (Deputy Chief Justice for Supervisory Affairs), and The Honorable Habiburrahman (Supreme Court Justices). Meanwhile, the third group consisted of Wahyu Widiana (Director General of Badilag) and Kadi Sastrowiyono (practitioner).

Even information and technology was not included in the Decree of The Supreme Court Chief Justice number 140/KMA/SK/VII/2010 dated July 23rd, 2010, as the subject of the test, the DG of Badilag included it.
“Our goal is not to examine whether the participants were able or not to operate the IT devices. What we do is a kind of mapping. We would like to know the commitment and what have they done to utilize the IT in their working unit.” The DG explained.
Thus, the DG went on, IT has a close relationship with management and administration of the judiciary and that why is included in fit and proper test.
