TANGGUNG JAWAB PANITIA A ATAS DOKUMEN PENDAFTARAN TANAH DI BADAN PERTANAHAN KABUPATEN KUPANG

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the responsibility of Committee A in the verification process of land registration documents at the Land Office of Kupang Regency and to identify the factors contributing to document forgery. This issue is significant because land document forgery undermines legal certainty and protection of land ownership rights.

This research employs an empirical method with a qualitative approach. Primary data were collected through interviews and field observations, while secondary data were obtained from literature studies and relevant statutory regulations. The research was conducted in Tarus Village, Kupang Tengah District, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara.

The findings indicate weaknesses in the verification and supervision system of land administration, creating opportunities for document forgery. Committee A is responsible for carefully and objectively verifying both physical and juridical data. In cases of negligence or involvement in forgery, administrative, civil, and criminal liabilities may arise. Strengthening supervision and institutional integrity is essential to ensure legal certainty in land administration.
