LEGALISASI TANAH-TANAH BEKAS HAK EIGENDOM

ABSTRAKDengan adanya ketentuan konversi dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1960, maka status tanah hak-hak barat hanya berlaku sampai tanggal 24 September 1980. Namun kenyataannya, banyak kasus sengketa tanah bekas hak barat yang belum dikonversi setelah lewat dua puluh tahun Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria berlaku. Salah satu kasus yang terjadi adalah sengketa tanah bekas barat Eigendom Verponding Nomor 775a di Kabupaten Pekalongan. Upaya penyelesaian telah dilakukan secara litigasi dan non-litigasi, namun belum juga dapat diselesaikan. Pokok permasalahan yang dikaji adalah bagaimana status hukum tanah bekas hak barat Eigendom Verponding Nomor 775a pasca putusan inkracht van gewijsde? Siapakah yang paling memiliki hak prioritas bekas hak barat tersebut? Permasalahan ini dikaji dengan metode normatif, dengan pendekatan kasus dan peraturan perundang-undangan. Kesimpulan kajian ini adalah tanah objek sengketa telah ditetapkan sebagai tanah yang dikuasai oleh negara tidak serta merta hapus hak atas tanahnya, karena hak keperdataan (kepemilikan) masih melekat pada pemegang hak. Cara menghapus hak keperdataan itu adalah dengan memberi ganti kerugian kepada pemegang hak.Kata kunci: hak eigendom; tanah negara; tanah bekas hak barat; konversi tanah. ABSTRACTWith the existence of conversion as stipulated in Law No. 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Regulations on Agrarian Principles, the status of western land rights was valid only until September 24, 1980. However, in practice, there are many cases regarding former western rights lands that have not been converted after twenty years of the concerning Basic Regulations on Agrarian Principles implementation. One of the cases occurred is a land dispute over former Eigendom Verponding Number 775a in Pekalongan Regency. Such efforts to reach the settlement have been set up both using litigation and non-litigation paths, nevertheless the dispute could not be resolved. The main issues that become the focus of this study are: how is the legal status over the former western right land of Eigendom Verponding Number 775a after nal court decision (inkracht van gewijsde)? who has the most priority rights over the former western right land? These issues are examined using a normative method through cases and statutes. The conclusion from this study appears as the disputed land that has been stipulated as the land controlled by the state does not necessarily abolish its land rights, because the civil rights (ownership) are still attached to the rights holder. A mean to remove the civil rights is by paying compensation to the rights holder.Keywords: eigendom rights; state land; former western rights land; land conversion.
