The Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices S.K.Kaul and K.M.Joseph will consider three fresh petitions regarding the entry of menstruating women between the ages of 10 and 50 years to the Sabrimala Temple on November 13.
Earlier on October 23, the Chief Justice had announced that the Apex court will hear the 19 review petitions filed against the Sabrimala verdict on November 13.The petition will be heard in open court.
The review petition by inter alia the Nair Service Society and the National Ayyapa Devotee (Women) Association, rely heavily on the dissenting judgment of Justice Indu Malhotra to contend that constitutional parameters of rationality cannot be blindly applied to matters to faith. It also states that the Court erred in entertaining the PILwithout examining the locus standi of the petitioner.It is contended that no woman devotee of Lord Ayyappa would want to visit Sabrimala temple and hence the Court erred in adjucating the issue on a petition filed by a party who is alien to the temple customs.
