<![CDATA[ This research examines the application of conditional sentences in petty theft cases within PT Perkebunan Nusantara areas, as reflected in Decision Number 54/Pid.C/2025/PN Lbp concerning Imam Prayogo, who stole 2 Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) and loose palm oil fruits valued at Rp136,500.00. This study aims to analyze the legal regulation of petty theft under Article 364 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Supreme Court Regulation Number 2 of 2012, the application of conditional sentences, and the judge’s legal considerations. The study employs a normative-empirical legal method using statutory and case approaches, supported by interviews with the presiding judge at Lubuk Pakam Class IA District Court. Data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The findings show that Article 364 of the Criminal Code and Supreme Court Regulation Number 2 of 2012 provide proportional legal certainty by adjusting the value threshold for petty theft and establishing expedited procedures. The conditional sentence was imposed through 3 months of imprisonment with a 6-month probation period, considering the defendant’s lack of prior criminal records, admission of guilt, remorse, and minimal loss. The judge’s considerations integrated juridical, non-juridical, and philosophical aspects, emphasizing rehabilitation and the ultimum remedium principle.]]>
