Abstract

The Public Hearing (Rapat Dengar Pendapat Umum/RDPU) serves as a parliamentary oversight mechanism of the House of Representatives (DPR) within the framework of checks and balances. In practice, however, RDPU has expanded beyond its original function of supervising public policies and has increasingly been used to address ongoing judicial cases. This shift raises constitutional concerns as it blurs the boundary between legislative and judicial powers and potentially undermines judicial independence. This study aims to analyse the constitutional limits of RDPU, examine its deviation in concrete cases, and formulate a constitutional boundary model for its use within Indonesia’s constitutional system. This research employs a normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings reveal that the use of RDPU in ongoing cases constitutes an expansion of legislative power into the adjudicative domain, generating political pressure that may affect judicial processes and compromise the principle of fair trial. Accordingly, this study proposes a reconstruction of RDPU through substantive limitations, the application of the sub judice principle, and the strengthening of ethical and constitutional control mechanisms. This model ensures that RDPU remains an effective democratic oversight tool without infringing upon judicial independence.
