Hindu gods get summons from court


A judge in India has summoned two Hindu gods, Ram and Hanuman, to help resolve a property dispute.

Judge Sunil Kumar Singh in the eastern state of Jharkhand has issued adverts in newspapers asking the gods to "appear before the court personally".

The gods have been asked to appear before the court on Tuesday, after the judge said that letters addressed to them had gone unanswered.

Ram and Hanuman are among the most popular Indian Hindu gods.

Judge Singh presides in a "fast track" court - designed to resolve disputes quickly - in the city of Dhanbad.

The dispute is now 20 years old and revolves around the ownership of a 1.4 acre plot of land housing two temples.

they are making fun of our religion.See its in BBC.:mad:

They are just publishing a fact that took place. Can you fault them? I wonder what's on the judges mind? He must have a good reason.

And thankfully, at least from his name I guess, he's not a Christian or a Muslim. Else hell would have broken loose by now.

where did this moron judge get inspiration from? from the recent case in some country where the judge summoned mickey mouse to court?!!!!!!

on a more serious note, these judges should not hurt hindu sentiments....i bet if the judge summoned allah, there would have been country wide riots and a few people might have been killed...

wel i think the jugde is toooo foooool(as every1 sees him after his method) OR HE IS A VERY VERY VERY VERY CLEVER PAT!!!!

to clarify my point of judge's cleverness, guys first ans my this question before readin further!!

Q. suppose there is adispute btwn 2 person over a property n they goto court!! but it happens so that the 2nd person is not actually presnt but his representative is presnt in court! now wat if that second person doesnot exits(or his existence is not verified) then accordin to law court wil give a notice to summon him n if that 2nd person fails to appear then the CASE will go in favor of first person!!!! n he wil be given the property.


so similar situation has been created by the CLEVER JUDGE to clarify his judgment!! and he want to show that a thing cannot be owned by a god in true manner. i mean that all ppl say god is omnipresent n he is sole creater n owner of this world(i dont say this coz i say god doesnt exits!! :razz:) but then if we go by this priciple then everything wil be of the god n we ppl wil hav nothin!!

so i think judge is do a REAL GOOD JOB OVER THIS!!
