For the purposes of judicial proceedings, investigators, public prosecutors, or judges—subject to the approval of the Notary Honorary Council (MKN)—are authorized to obtain photocopies of the original deed (minuta akta) and summon a Notary for examination. This authority is intended to support the judicial process while simultaneously providing legal protection for Notaries suspected of committing criminal violations. The research addresses the legal consequences of a court ruling that annuls the approval previously granted by the Regional Notary Honorary Council (MKNW) for the examination of a Notary, as well as the legal certainty regarding the examination of a Notary by the MKNW in light of the court's annulment of said approval. This study employs R. Soeroso’s Theory of Legal Consequences and Jan Michiel Otto’s Theory of Legal Certainty. A normative-juridical research method is used, incorporating statutory, case, analytical, and conceptual approaches. Legal materials were gathered through the identification and inventory of legislation, literature, journals, and other sources, and subsequently analyzed using grammatical and systematic interpretation as well as legal construction via analogy. The research findings indicate that the court's annulment of the approval for a Notary's examination extinguishes the legal status and relationships derived from the MKNW's approval letter; this eliminates the rights and obligations of the parties involved and necessitates the MKNW's revocation of the previously issued approval. Such annulment embodies legal certainty and reaffirms the MKNW's obligation to exercise its authority in accordance with applicable legal regulations.
