The Delhi High Court has asked a man to pay a ₹1 lakh penalty for making Lord Hanuman his co-litigant in a plea on the dispute of a temple built on private land.
“I never thought that God would, one day, be a litigant before me. This appears, however, thankfully, to be a case of divinity by proxy,” said Justice C. Hari Shankar in the 51-page judgment delivered on Monday.
The court, after rejecting 31-year-old Ankit Mishra’s petition, ordered him to pay the ₹1 lakh fine to Suraj Malik, the owner of the property in question.
