At the midnight of 19 December 1948, the Dutch launched military attack against the Republic of Indonesia. The Adil Cabinet resigned on the same day in protest. Similar event occurred in East Indonesia, on which the Ide Anak Agung Gde Agung cabinet also resigned on the same reason.[3]
The resignation was in pursuance to the promise made by Adil to Mohammad Hatta, the vice president of Indonesia, on 12 December, that he and his cabinet would resign if and only if the Dutch attacked Indonesia.
The outgoing cabinet was officially replaced by the First Djumhana Cabinet on 10 January 1949.[4]
