According to Article 156, paragraph (1), the exception is the right of the defendant to answer the indictment given by the Public Prosecutor.

If there are weaknesses in the indictment, they must be disclosed in the exception appropriately so that the results are optimal in restoring the defendant's human rights that had been deprived, in the form of freedom if the defendant is detained. The case does not proceed as in the Interim Decision number 1473/Pid.Sus/2017/PN Jkt.Sel. When it wants to continue as a case, the prosecutor must make a new indictment.
