SC asks Kerala govt to frame exclusive law for Sabarimala till Jan 2020

The Supreme Court has asked the Kerala government to frame a separate law for the management of Sabarimala Temple.

While insisting on the need for a new law, the Supreme Court asked the Kerala government to frame the law by the third week of January 2020.

Last week, the Justice Ranjan Gogoi had decided to refer the Sabarimala issue to a larger bench to re-examine religious issues including those arising out of its 2018 verdict lifting a centuries-old ban on women of menstruating age visiting the hilltop shrine.
