Divine justice: Ram Janmabhoomi case and the legal persona of temple deities in India

Author(s):

Dr. Bolla Madhavi and Dr. Konda Nageswar Rao

Abstract:

The Ram Janmabhoomi case in India stands as a pivotal moment where legal discourse intersected with religious sentiment and historical significance. Central to this landmark litigation was the recognition of temple deities as juristic persons, a concept that reshaped the understanding of legal standing for non-human entities in Indian jurisprudence. This abstract explores the implications of the Supreme Court's decision on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute, highlighting the evolution of the concept of legal persona for deities and its broader implications for religious and legal frameworks in India. Through an analysis of judicial reasoning, historical context, and socio-religious dimensions, this abstract aims to elucidate the complex relationship between law and faith, offering insights into how the notion of divine justice was navigated within the framework of secular legal principles.
