A protracted internal dispute within PT Mahesa Jenar Semarang, the entity behind football club PSIS Semarang, has reached its legal conclusion as the Supreme Court (MA) officially rejected an appeal filed by shareholder Heri Sasongko. This landmark ruling puts an end to a contentious period that has gripped the club’s ownership and sets a clear path forward.
This pivotal decision, announced by Hadi Sunoto, spokesperson for the Semarang District Court, on Friday, October 24, 2025, relates to case Number 218/Pdt.G/2024/PN Smg. The confirmation of the rejection of Heri Sasongko’s lawsuit marks a definitive moment in the company’s legal battles. The ruling unequivocally signifies the culmination of a protracted legal saga that has cast a shadow over the company for an extended period, finally bringing clarity and resolution.
The appeal itself was adjudicated by a panel of Supreme Court judges on October 9, 2025, under the leadership of Chief Justice M. Yunus Wahab. Consequently, the case, which had already faced rejection at both the Semarang District Court and the Central Java High Court, has now achieved a status of legal certainty, becoming permanently binding.

A crucial element in the judges’ deliberation was the official minutes from the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS), which took place in April 2024. During this vital meeting, shareholders collectively approved the financial report for 2022 and subsequently ratified the revised financial report for 2023. Significantly, the meeting’s minutes bore the signature of Heri Sasongko himself, who was not only present but actively participated in the proceedings, a detail that ultimately weighed heavily against his appeal.
The Supreme Court’s ruling further reinforced that PT Mahesa Jenar Semarang’s financial statements were meticulously prepared with full transparency and adherence to established procedures. Consequently, all accusations pertaining to financial mismanagement within the company were definitively deemed unsubstantiated.
