Lawsuits against decisions of administrative officials

Lawsuits against the decisions of administrative officials are known as administrative lawsuits or judicial review of administrative actions, a core concept in administrative law where citizens challenge the legality, rationality, or fairness of government actions or decisions. These lawsuits are handled by specialized courts, such as State Administrative Courts (PTUN) in Indonesia, which ensure that administrative bodies act within their legal authority and protect citizens’ rights from governmental overreach.
