Registration Conflict of Sultan Grant Land in Melayu Deli

Abstract

Humans and land have a cosmic, magical, religious, and legal relationship. The Sultan Grant in the territory of the native Malayu kingdom was under the direct rule of the Sultan. Since the establishment of the Basic Agrarian Law, land rights have been changed. The Sultan's Grant is an Indigenous Melayu land issued by the Sultan, but to date it not yet registered. The problem addressed in this study was how to convert the Sultan Grant land based on the Basic Agrarian Law Number 5 of the Year 1960. This study employed normative juridical research using descriptive analysis. The results revealed that the issuance of certificates in the location of grants must fulfill land registration procedures adhering to the Government Regulation (Peraturan Pemerintah), Number 24 of the Year 1997. In Summary, the Sultan Grant lands must be registered through the National Land Agency in following the Government Regulations. It is suggested for the government to socialize to the Sultan Grant owners about registering their land.
