DG Badilag Wahyu Widiana said that religious courts have been developing a ‘one stop service system’ to avoid illegal meetings between court officials/officers with litigants. The system needs to be effectively employed since the illegal meetings between court officials with litigants outside the court sessions lead to unfair presumption from other parties.

Wahyu Widiana delivered those statements on Tuesday evening (23/2) in front of approximately 300 civil servant candidates who are following pre-office training at the Supreme Court Training Center in Bogor, West Java. Under a paper titled ‘A Brief of DG Badilag and the Religious Courts’, Wahyu explained a number of Badilag’s programs and policies.
