Indonesia, as a country based on the rule of law, places the principles of justice, certainty, and expediency as the basis for administering justice. However, in criminal practice, some judges still issue decisions exceeding the demands of the Public Prosecutor (JPU), commonly referred to as ultra petita. In District Court Decision Number 69/Pid.Sus/2019/PN Mjk, the judge imposed an additional criminal sanction in the form of chemical castration on a perpetrator of a sexual crime committed against a child. This study was conducted to analyze the basis of considerations used by judges in issuing ultra petita decisions and their legal consequences from the perspective of the objectives of punishment. The research method used normative juridical through a statutory regulatory approach, expert opinions, and court decisions. The results of the study indicate that judges base their decisions on the fulfillment of the elements of the offense as well as legal and non-legal considerations, including the serious impact of sexual crimes against children as extraordinary crimes. However, the absence of explicit regulations regarding the limits of judges' authority in making decisions exceeding the demands creates gaps in interpretation and potential disharmony with the principles of legality and legal certainty. From the perspective of the objectives of punishment, the additional punishment of chemical castration contains elements of community protection and special prevention, but at the same time raises debate regarding its effectiveness, proportionality, and suitability for the objectives of punishment.
