Summoning the Gods
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.
The legal system in India is rather slow, and who can tell if the case will get resolved first or the Gods will appear.
