Concept:
Jurisprudence recognizes two types of persons: Natural Persons (human beings) and Legal/Juristic Persons (entities like companies or idols).
Step 1: Understanding Juristic Personality.
A juristic person is an entity that the law treats as having rights and duties.
In Hindu law, a consecrated idol is treated as a "minor" and a legal person.
It can own property and sue or be sued through a representative (Shebait).
Step 2: Applying the rule to the Ayodhya Case.
In the historic 2019 Supreme Court verdict,
Ram Lalla Virajman was recognized as a
Legal Person.
This allowed the deity to be a party to the land dispute.
