Supreme Court agrees to hear Sabarimala review petitions on January 22

The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to put a stay on its September 28 verdict that allowed women of all ages to enter the Sabarimala temple in Kerala. Hearing a bunch of petitions seeking a review of the court's verdict, the Supreme Court said it will now hear the matter on January 22 in an open court.

The Sabarimala temple will reopen for devotees from November 16. Entry of women of menstruating age (10-50 years) has been traditionally banned in the temple.
