Hindu gods summoned to Indian court

Two popular Hindu gods have been summoned to a court in India as witnesses in a property dispute, the Press Trust of India reported Friday.

A judge in the eastern state of Jharkhand issued notices to the revered Ram, the most worshipped incarnation of one of the deities in the Hindu trinity, and to the monkey god Hanuman.

Court officers went to the temple at the heart of the property dispute to deliver the summons but found no one willing to accept the orders on behalf of the gods, the report said.
