In a small town in India, a person decided to open up his bar business, which was right opposite the temple. The temple and its congregation started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business. Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the bar and it was burnt to the ground. The temple folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, until the bar owner sued the temple authorities on the grounds that the temple, through its congregation prayers, was ultimately responsible for the demise of his bar shop, either through direct or indirect actions or means. In its reply to the court, the temple vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons for the bar shop's demise. As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork at the hearing and commented: "I don't know how I'm going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, 'we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire temple and its devotees that doesn't.'"

This scenario presents a unique legal challenge where the bar owner is attributing the destruction of his business to the prayers of the temple congregation. In such cases, the legal system typically requires evidence to establish causation. The judge's comment reflects the contrasting beliefs at play, highlighting the complexity of the situation. To address this, a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to the bar's destruction would be necessary. This may involve expert opinions, testimonies, and any available data to determine the cause of the incident. Additionally, understanding the legal framework around liability for such events, including any relevant labor laws or precedents, would be crucial in reaching a fair decision. Ultimately, the resolution would depend on the strength of evidence presented by both parties and how well it aligns with legal standards of proof.
