Nine-judge SC bench to hear Sabrimala case from January 13

A nine-judge
Constitution Bench of Supreme Court will hear from 13th of January, the issue
of allowing women and girls of all ages to enter Kerala’s Sabarimala temple
along with other contentious issues of alleged discrimination against Muslim
and Parsi women.

The Apex
court on Monday issued a notice informing listing of a petition filed by Indian
Young Lawyers Association seeking review of its 2018 judgement allowing women
and girls of all ages to enter Sabarimala temple.

On 14th of
November last year, a five-judge Constitution Bench in a 3:2 majority verdict
had referred to a larger seven-judge bench, the pleas seeking review of its 2018
judgement.
