The Case of the Genie

.
A family in Saudi Arabia is taking a genie to court on the grounds that it threw stones, stole mobile phones and eventually forced the family out of their house. The case has echoes of the sort of poltergeist activity we hear about from time to time in Britain.

Genies, or djinns, are supernatural beings recognised in the Muslim world and the local court are is investigating the case.

The case raises an interesting question. How does one serve a court writ on a genie?
