Delhi HC rejects PIL against sticking deities’ images on walls

The Delhi High Court on Monday rejected a plea filed by an advocate against the practice of sticking images and posters of deities on walls in order to prevent public urination, spitting and throwing garbage.A division bench led by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, which had earlier reserved its order on this matter, dismissed it.The plea was filed in a form of a PIL, moved by advocate Gorang Gupta, alleging that even though people are making use of deities’ images as a means to put an end to public urination, it is leading to harming the religious sentiments of people at large.The PIL also stated that public urination and littering seriously denigrates and disparages the sanctity of sacred deities’ images.
