Bihar: A lower court in Bihar has actually issued summons to the Hindu God to make an appearance before it.
The court issued summons after a case of encroachment was filed by the Public Works Department. In its complaint, the department sought the court’s intervention to remove the Hanuman temple in Rohtas district as it caused frequent traffic jams.
A lower court in Bihar issued a summons against Hanuman on Wednesday, asking the monkey-god to appear before it in connection with a road-side temple in which he is the deity. Group of Bajrang Dal activists and local Bharatiya Janata Party workers have opposed the court notice, demanding its withdrawal.
This isn’t the first time a case was filed against Lord Hanuman by mere mortals. Earlier this month, an official in Begusarai district, Bihar issued an encroachment notice against ‘Bajrang Bali’ regarding a roadside temple constructed in His honour in the Lohia Nagar area. Authorities were however, forced to dump the notice after protests from Bajrang Dal workers.
