Days after a court in Bihar issued a notice to Lord Hanuman's statue, another court has issued summons to Lord Hanuman to appear before it in an encroachment case.
The sub-divisional magistrate court in Rohtas district on Wednesday summoned Lord Hanuman to appear in the court after hearing a complaint from the public works department.
The PWD in its complaint has sought the court’s intervention to remove the panchmukhi (five-headed) Hanuman temple from a road in Dehri On Sone in the district as it creates problem for the people.
The court’s order was pasted on the idol of Lord Hanuman by officials of the district administration.
A group of Bajrang Dal activists and local Bharatiya Janata Party workers have opposed the court’s notice and demanded that it be withdrawn at once.
Early this month, in the state’s Begusarai district, officials issued an encroachment notice against Lord Hanuman. While issuing the notice, officials ordered the temple to be demolished as it created an obstruction for vehicular traffic. However, Bajrang Dal workers protested against it and forced the authorities to dump the notice.
In another incident on February 1, a lawyer in the state’s Sitamarhi district filed a case against Lord Rama and his brother Laxman for renouncing Sita, which was rejected by chief judicial magistrate Rash Bihari.
