NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court is scheduled to believe on Tuesday a batch of petitions in search of evaluate of its September 28 verdict allowing entry of women of all age teams into the Sabarimala temple in Kerala.
On September 28, a five-judge charter bench headed by then Chief Justice Dipak Misra, in its 4:1 verdict, had prepared the ground for entry of women of every age into the Sabarimala temple announcing that the ban amounted to gender discrimination.
A batch of 48 petitions in search of evaluate of the judgement could be taken up for attention in-chamber by a bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices R F Nariman, A M Khanwilkar, D Y Chandrachud and Indu Malhotra.
Besides those pleas, 3 separate petitions in search of evaluate of the decision are also slated to return up for listening to within the open court ahead of a bench comprising CJI Gogoi and Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and K M Joseph.
The apex court's judgement has resulted in protests and counter-protests on the hill-top shrine in Kerala.
The peak court had on October nine declined an pressing listening to at the evaluate plea filed by an association which had contended that the five-judge Constitution bench's verdict lifting the ban was "absolutely untenable and irrational".
Later, the court had mentioned that it will believe the evaluate pleas on November 13.
A plea filed by National Ayyappa Devotees Association (NADA), which has sought evaluate of the decision, had mentioned that "the notion that the judgment under review is revolutionary, one which removes the stigma or the concept of dirt or pollution associated with menstruation, is unfounded. It is a judgment welcomed by hypocrites who were aspiring for media headlines. On the merits of the case, as well, the said judgment is absolutely untenable and irrational, if not perverse".
Besides the Association, a number of other petitions including one by Nair Service Society (NSS), have been filed towards the apex court verdict.
The NSS had mentioned within the plea that as the deity is a 'Naistika Brahmachari', women folk under the age of 10 and after the age of 50 years are eligible to worship him and there is no practice of apart from worship by women folk.
"Hence, the delay or wait for 40 years to worship cannot be considered as exclusionary and it is an error of law on the face of the judgement," the plea had mentioned.
