Abstract

Based on data collected from the annual report of the Supreme Court in 2024, the number of cases handled by the Supreme Court and its subordinate judicial bodies in 2024 is 3,003,665. In the first-instance courts, the number of cases filed in 2024 is 2,927,815, with the backlog from 2023 amounting to 63,932, resulting in a total of 2,991,747 cases handled. Of the 2,991,747 cases managed by the judicial bodies under the Supreme Court, 2,226,371, or 74%, are criminal cases, encompassing both first-instance and appellate levels. In Madura, in 2024, among the four existing districts, the Sumenep District Court examined the highest number of cases, totaling 1,549, followed by the Sampang District Court with 1,472 cases, the Bangkalan District Court with 1,231 cases, and finally, the Pamekasan District Court with 541 cases. This research aims to assess the implementation of Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2024 concerning Guidelines for Adjudicating Criminal Cases Based on Restorative Justice as an effort to address the backlog of cases in the Sumenep District Court. The study employed the empirical research approach to directly observe the implementation of Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2024 in addressing the backlog of cases in the court. The findings of this study indicate that the mechanism for examining cases based on restorative justice differs from that of expedited proceedings, and that the examination of cases based on restorative justice does not significantly address the issue of case backlog in the Sumenep District Court.
