Hartanto1

Abstract
Corruption in Indonesia mainly issues granting permits which end in state losses. Indonesian society has a communal character, tends to have the desire to live together peacefully and harmoniously called “guyub rukun”, it tends to avoid conflict even when they face corruption problems. These good social values were often interpreted incorrectly in law enforcement view. This research uses normative juridical methods to answer how judges interpret justice meaning when making decisions related to criminal acts of corruption in grant funds. This research also analyzes the arguments in the weighing part of the judge’s decision. Understanding the true meaning of justice at the trial stage is the judge’s guide. The use sentence in the head of the Decision “For Justice Based on Belief in One Almighty God”, has shown an element of religiosity linked by justice transcendentally, namely God. The meaning of justice that should be used by the Panel of Judges was an explanation of the words “Based on Belief in One Almighty God” after the legal facts have been examined in court, then decisions based on certainty, benefits, and legal objectives need to be added with an explanation about considering justice from a religiosity/transcendental perspective. The point of view used in this paper was that religious values are used as a source of law, but they do not
automatically become state law. So, it will be different from other countries in the
international world.
