This study examines the role of administrative remedies in resolving state administrative disputes in Indonesia, particularly in light of Supreme Court Regulation No. 6 of 2018. It investigates the legal obligations and procedural mechanisms governing the utilization of administrative remedies, with a focus on disputes involving Civil Servants (ASN).

The study underscores the need for adherence to procedural requirements and administrative lawfulness, offering insights for legal practitioners, policymakers, and judicial authorities to enhance the administrative justice system in Indonesia. Highlights: Exhausting administrative remedies crucial for procedural fairness in state disputes. Judicial discretion vital; dismissal possible without exhausting administrative remedies.
