In the state administrative dispute registered in The Verdict of The Yogyakarta State Administrative Court Number 17/G/2020/PTUN.YK., the lawsuit cannot be accepted, because the defendant’s challenge (exception) regarding court’s competence was accepted. Normatively, the verdict can be justified, but leaves legal problems, including: 1) What are the considerations and decisions (verdict) of the case in relation to the authority of the chief of the court as referred to Article 62 of Law Number 5 of 1986 concerning The State Administrative Court? 2) How is the legal protection for the aggrieved party when the issuance of a state administrative decision in which the person concerned is required to take administrative measures first? This paper is a normative research by prioritizing secondary data through primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The result of the study shows that there is an
inaccuracy of the chief of the court in the deliberation meeting (dismissal process) that passes the lawsuit until it was examined in the main case by the panel of judges. The existence of new regulations regarding administrative measures, is still seen as less clear and firm, especially regarding the rights of justice seekers in state administrative disputes.

Abstrak
Di dalam sengketa tata usaha negara yang terregister dalam Putusan Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara Yogyakarta Nomor 17/G/2020/PTUN.YK., menyatakan gugatan tidak dapat diterima, lantaran eksepsi tergugat tentang kompetensi diterima. Secara normatif putusan tersebut dapat dibenarkan, namun meninggalkan permasalahan hukum, diantaranya adalah: 1) Bagaimana pertimbangan dan amar putusan perkara tersebut jika dikaitkan dengan kewenangan ketua pengadilan sebagaimana dimaksud Pasal 62 Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1986 tentang Peradilan Tata Usaha Negara? 2) Bagaimana perlindungan hukum terhadap pihak yang dirugikan terbitnya keputusan tata usaha negara dimana yang bersangkutan wajib menempuh upaya administratif terlebih dahulu? Karya ilmiah ini merupakan penelitian normatif dengan mengedepankan data sekunder melalui bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier. Hasil kajian menunjukkan adanya ketidakcermatan ketua pengadilan dalam rapat permusyawaratan yang meloloskan gugatan sampai dengan diperiksa dalam pokok perkara oleh majelis hakim. Adanya peraturan baru mengenai upaya administratif, masih dipandang kurang jelas dan tegas, khususnya mengenai hak pencari keadilan dalam sengketa tata usaha negara.
