Some people have all the time in the world. When lawyers are tired of suing each other, some get so bored, they actually go and sue a God. And you may think that they are just kidding, but no. They actually pursue the case with the vigour they should show in cases that actually matter. What is more impressive is that our judicial system actually tolerates lawyers like these and lets them waste precious court time, as if they didn’t have millions of cases in backlog. Here are some of the most frivolous of the lawsuits ever. When Hanuman was taken to court for occupying government land: A roadside Hanuman temple was encroaching on a road in Bihar, causing traffic jams. So, the district magistrate prepared paperwork for a court summons, which was carried by a clerk to the temple. Guess what the clerk did. He went and stuck the court summons on Hanuman’s statue – bang on his chest. That was probably the first time Hanuman was summoned by a court for a hearing perhaps. The court obviously realized its mistake and termed the whole fiasco as a “clerical error”.

When Ganesha was barred from trading in the stock market

A religious trust opened 6 trading accounts in the stock market under the names of 6 Gods.

Obviously, that is blasphemy and also unethical, because the Gods will always get a winning streak.

So it went to court, where the court said that the Gods are meant for worship and not to be used to gain financial wealth. But the trustees were reluctant, pointing out that the Gods even had savings accounts.

The court dismissed the case, deeming it unfit for the Gods to trade because they didn’t have the skills to do financial calculations.

When God was pulled to court for letting a man become a murderer

A murderer sued the Church for failing to keep him away from evil after he was convicted of a brutal murder.

But the Church never claimed to keep him away from evil, did it?

Not according to Pavel. He cited his baptism to be the contract under which he was to be protected from the devil. The court dismissed the case since it couldn’t find the individual to file the case against. Duh.
