Mujono

Mujono (30 July 1927 – 14 April 1984) was the sixth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Indonesia as well as the 16th Minister of Law and Human Rights.

[2] Born in East Java, Mujono was educated at the Military Law Academy from 1957 until 1962, and was part of the central leadership of the Golkar party from 1967 to 1971.

[2] During his tenure as Minister of Law, Mujono continued the policy of executive interference in judicial affairs established by his predecessor on the Supreme Court, Umar Seno Aji.

[4] Mujono transferred a number of judges from central courts to outlying districts without consulting Aji, then Chief Justice; when Mujono left his position as Minister of Law to replace Aji as the Chief Justice, he began to call for a return of judicial responsibilities to the Supreme Court.

[6] In order to deal with the court's sizeable backlog of cases, he increased the number of the staff to the point where many of the chambers could operate autonomously.
