Judge Summons HINDU Monkey God to 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.

    Judge Singh sent out two notices to the deities, but they were returned as the addresses were found to be "incomplete".

    This prompted him to put out adverts in local newspapers summoning the gods.

    "You failed to appear in court despite notices sent by a peon and later through registered post. You are herby directed to appear before the court personally", Judge Singh's notice said.

    lmao - sounds like a judge with some sense. Now either the plaintiff or defendant just needs to claim he/she was posessed on the weekend and has the God's inside them and speaks on His/Her behalf. I wonder if that'll work?

    What is the penalty in India for ignoring a court summons? In the US, it can land you in jail.

    Hey you seem to have a spiritual restless soul in search of god in a modern way. I hope you will get your answers soon.

    No prejudice whatsoever.

    same here, but implementation here is another thing.

    if you commit a crime (and you are "resourceful") then tryst with court is the best thing that can happen to you.
