The case was registered at the South Jakarta District Court, according to the court’s Case Tracking Information System accessed on Saturday.
In its petition, the ministry asked the court to declare Agincourt guilty of causing environmental harm and to hold the company strictly liable.
The ministry is demanding Rp200.9 billion in damages and an additional Rp25.2 billion (US$1.5 million) to fund restoration measures.
Under the proposed order, Agincourt would be required to submit a detailed restoration plan to the ministry.
The plan must specify the restoration site, the scope of work, environmental components to be repaired, standards and methods to be used, as well as a timeline, cost breakdown, and monitoring procedures. Progress reports would need to be submitted every six months.
The ministry is also seeking penalties for non-compliance.
Agincourt would face a fine of 6 percent per year of the total compensation for each day of delay in payment, starting once the court’s decision becomes final.
A similar 6 percent annual penalty would apply to delays in carrying out restoration measures.
The first hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, February 3.
