The scope of pretrial authority is regulated under Article 77 of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), with an extension of authority introduced through the Constitutional Court Decision Number 21/PUU-XII/2014. The evidentiary process in pretrial proceedings is governed by Article 2 paragraphs (2) and (4) of the Supreme Court Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 4 of 2016 concerning the Prohibition of Judicial Review of Pretrial Decisions. However, in practice, petitions for pretrial often address matters beyond this prescribed authority. Moreover, there remains a disparity in judicial reasoning across different judges, particularly with respect to the evaluation of evidence in the determination of a suspect.The legal issues examined in this study are: (1) whether the expansion of the pretrial authority’s scope has led to multiple interpretations among law enforcement officers, and (2) how the evidentiary process in pretrial proceedings aligns with the principle of legal certainty. This thesis employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings of this thesis reveal that the expansion of pretrial authority has indeed created multiple interpretations among law enforcement officials, owing to inconsistencies in pretrial decisions that result from judicial discretion. Furthermore, the evidentiary process in pretrial proceedings ought to be limited to the formal aspects of investigative or prosecutorial actions. Nevertheless, certain pretrial rulings have considered the substance and quality of evidence, and even assessed the conduct of the suspect. Such practices undermine legal certainty for justice seekers. Therefore, the Supreme Court should issue more concrete regulations concerning the scope of pretrial and the evidentiary standards applicable in pretrial proceedings.

Limited access to law enforcement and low legal knowledge make victims reluctant to seek justice. The research used is empirical legal research or empirical juridical research. Data collection for this research is interviews, observations and document studies. The data to be collected is then processed using the observation method. The results of the study show that the choice of customary resolution that prioritizes reconciliation also makes cases rarely processed through formal law. Economic dependence on maramba further weakens the position of ata. Violations committed by maramba (king) against the ata (lower) people in Rindi District, East Sumba, can be resolved through two channels: criminal law and customary law. Criminally, tournaments are regulated in Article 351 of the Criminal Code and can be reported to the authorities. However, people more often choose customary resolution through mediation by traditional elders (rato) who emphasize compensation or peace rituals. Social inequality, maramba dominance, economic dependence, and cultural pressure make it difficult for the ata people to fight back. They are reluctant to report because they are afraid, do not understand the law, and believe more in customary resolutions which are considered to maintain social harmony.
