According to a ruling issued in July 2026 by the Bandung High Religious Court (PTA Bandung), Teddy Pardiyana and his daughter Bintang have been officially designated as the legitimate heirs of the late Lina Jubaedah, the former wife of Sule. Wati Trisnawati, the legal counsel representing Teddy, stated that her client greeted the appellate decision with full gratitude after a lower court previously dismissed the initial petition on procedural grounds.
Bandung High Religious Court Overturns Lower Court Dismissal
The appellate decision delivered in July 2026 successfully overturned a prior ruling from the Bandung Religious Court (PA Bandung), which had previously rejected Teddy’s application due to formal and procedural defects. According to Wati Trisnawati, the panel of judges at the appellate level determined that the lower court erred by failing to examine the substance of the case thoroughly. Consequently, the panel dismissed the initial exceptions and proceeded to adjudicate the matter directly, establishing a formal legal fact regarding the rightful heirs of Lina Jubaedah.
Seven Individuals Designated as Legitimate Heirs
In its formal judgment, the PTA Bandung panel named seven individuals as the legal heirs of the late Lina Jubaedah. This definitive roster includes Teddy Pardiyana and his young daughter, Bintang. Wati Trisnawati noted that the appellate court based its binding determination on verified legal instruments and primary evidence submitted during the proceedings, including birth certificates, original marriage books, and official family cards.
Next Steps: The Electronic Cassation Process
Following the appellate victory, the legal team confirmed that upcoming judicial steps will utilize digital filing systems. According to Wati Trisnawati, the ongoing legal battle will proceed to the cassation stage entirely through electronic court mechanisms, known as e-court. Because the initial application was processed online, the subsequent appeal will maintain the same digital framework to handle further scrutiny of the estate.
Scope of the Appellate Ruling on Estate Assets
Despite the definitive ruling on lineage and heirship, the July 2026 appellate decision remains strictly limited to establishing legal status. According to court records, the panel of judges has not yet entered the substantive phase regarding the division, valuation, or specific volume of the inheritance assets currently in dispute. Future proceedings will determine how the estate’s holdings are ultimately distributed among the designated heirs.
