SC to hear 48 petitions challenging its Sabarimala verdict today

The Supreme Court will on Tuesday hear a batch of petitions seeking the review of the Constitution bench verdict that, on September 28, allowed the entry of women in the age group of 10-50 years into the Sabarimala shrine.

A bench, comprising of Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi and justices Rohinton Fali Nariman, AM Khanwilkar, DY Chandrachud and Indu Malhotra, will hear the review petitions at 3 pm.

The Sabarimala temple has been in the eye of the storm ever since the Supreme Court allowed, in its ruling, menstruating women to visit the sanctum sanctorum of the Lord Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala.
