Court Rules Finding Kalash Not a Crime in Lilavati Hospital Black Magic Case

A Mumbai court has ruled that finding a Kalash, a sacred pot, does not constitute a crime in the black‑magic case involving Lilavati Hospital. The decision clarifies that possession or discovery of the Kalash is not an offence under Indian law. The ruling comes amid allegations of black‑magic practices at the hospital, which have drawn public attention. By setting this legal precedent, the court aims to prevent misuse of criminal charges in similar contexts. The judgment is expected to influence future cases involving religious or cultural artifacts.
