Lord Hanuman also made plaintiff in private temple property dispute, then you will be shocked to know what the High Court did
The Delhi High Court has imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on a man who has made him a co-plaintiff in a petition regarding possession of a private land containing a temple of Lord Hanuman. The petition was filed as an appeal against the trial court’s order rejecting his ‘objection petition’ regarding transfer of the land to another party. The plea claimed that since there is a public temple on the property, the land belongs to Lord Hanuman and the appellant is present before the court as his close friend and worshipper.
I never thought that God would plead with me
Terming it a case of ‘collusion with intent to take over’ the property, Justice C Hari Shankar dismissed the appeal and ruled that the appellant had colluded with the existing occupiers of the land so that another party could regain possession after the trial. Can be prevented from doing. Justice C Hari Shankar commented, “I never thought that God would one day appear before me as a litigant. “Though thankfully it appears to be a case of divine power.”
What did the court say in its order?
“The defendants (existing occupiers) took over the land of the plaintiff (other party),” the court said in its order passed on May 6. The plaintiff had filed a suit to get possession. Ultimately the defendants demanded Rs 11 lakh from the plaintiff to vacate the place. Judgment was given on those terms. “After this the plaintiff actually paid Rs 6 lakh but the defendants still did not vacate the land.”
The court said, “The plaintiff applied for execution. In execution, the present appellant, who is a third party, has raised objection stating that there is a public temple of Lord Hanuman on the land and, therefore, the land belongs to Lord Hanuman and he, as a close friend of Lord Hanuman, is protecting his interest. The Court held that there is no concept of the public having a right to worship in a private temple unless the owner of the temple provides such a right or the private temple is converted into a public temple with the passage of time. It doesn’t happen.
