However, in practice, legal debates often arise regarding the legitimacy of suspect designation, particularly when challenged through the pretrial mechanism. This research employs a normative juridical method, or doctrinal legal research, which relies on secondary data sources using the statute approach and case approach. The research findings indicate that a lawful determination of a suspect must be based on at least two preliminary pieces of evidence and must follow procedures regulated in the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) and the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. In case Number 11/PID.PRA/2023/PN.SRG, the Pretrial Judge at the Serang District Court went beyond procedural review and entered into the substance of the case. According to prevailing legal norms, judges in pretrial hearings should only examine formal legality or procedural validity, not determine the guilt or innocence of the suspect. This is in contrast to other pretrial decisions, such as Number 1/PID.PRA/2024/PN.PDL and Number 20/PID.PRA/2023/PN.TNG, where the petitions were denied on the basis that the arrest procedures were valid and supported by sufficient preliminary evidence. This inconsistency in pretrial rulings reflects differing interpretations of what constitutes "sufficient preliminary evidence," resulting in legal uncertainty. Therefore, there is a need for a clearer and more uniform legal construction in pretrial proceedings to ensure this mechanism effectively protects citizens’ rights and upholds the principle of legal certainty date: 2025 type: Thesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/53450/1/NILA%20YUNITA_7773230033_FULL%20TEXT.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/53450/2/NILA%20YUNITA_7773230033_01.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/53450/3/NILA%20YUNITA_7773230033_02.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/53450/4/NILA%20YUNITA_7773230033_03.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/53450/5/NILA%20YUNITA_7773230033_04.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/53450/6/NILA%20YUNITA_7773230033_05.pdf format: text language: en identifier: https://eprints.untirta.ac.id/53450/7/NILA%20YUNITA_7773230033_REFF.pdf identifier: Yunita, Nila (2025) RATIO DECIDENDI TERHADAP PENETAPAN TERSANGKA PUTUSAN PRAPERADILAN PENGADILAN NEGERI SERANG (STUDI PUTUSAN PRAPERADILAN NO 11/PID.PRA/2023/PN.SRG).
