The Hindu
It strikes down the order of a special court
An idol, according to the belief of devotees, is God. Therefore, God cannot be summoned by any court to be produced for mere inspection or verification as if it is yet a material object in a criminal case, the Madras High Court observed on Thursday.
Justice R. Suresh Kumar made the observations while passing interim orders in a case filed against the move to move the main deity of the Paramasivan Swamy Temple at Siviyarpalayam in Kangeyam taluk of Tiruppur district for being produced in court.
A group of local residents had filed the writ petition and its counsel C.K. Chandrasekar told the court that the idol was stolen a few years ago. It was recovered by the police and reinstalled in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple as per the Agama principles.
