Public Peeing - Not even God could solve - What can a High Court do?
IT is now a practice among house owners in cities to fix tiles with images of Gods on exterior walls assuming that this will deter men from relieving there due to reverence for the Gods - but even this did not work and a frustrated victim had to file a writ in the Delhi High Court.
But what can a High Court do? It did what courts are best doping at. It passed an order - a very interesting order.
The Court's order said:
1. The writ petition raises an issue which this Court, if at all it can solve could do so in a clumsy way. The petitioner has filed photographs showing that residents of buildings and especially Group Housing Complex, fed up with the Indian habit of relieving the pressure on the bladder by unzipping and peeing on the first wall seen by the person is sought to be curtailed, if not at all prohibited, by affixing photographs deities on the walls. The hope would be that man, the greatest creation of the infinite artist, would not dare his privies in front of his lord and would not urinate on the road.
2. In spite thereof, the photographs evidence that the pressure on the bladder is blatantly relieved by virtually peeing on the photographs of once God.
3. Not only that the photographs at page 26 would reveal that to shame the offender the owners of the complex have written graffiti that "Look here a dog and a donkey is peeing". In spite thereof, a man is seen peeing on the wall.
4. Now, nobody can prevent a person from affixing photographs of deities on the walls of his house or on the walls of a Group Housing Complex. The direction sought to be issued against the residents that photographs of Gods be directed to be removed cannot be issued by us. The menace of urinating in public has to be solved elsewhere.
5. Surely this Court cannot makes a man walks out of his house his zipshould be locked. (sic)
