The Supreme Court (SC) held a hearing and reviewed a number of petitions filed against the verdict of the Court on women’s entry in the Sabarimala temple, on Tuesday at 3:00 P.M.

A bench of five judges led by Ranjan Gogoi, Chief Justice of India (CJI,) heard all the 48 petitions and declared an order. The bench comprised of Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, Justice R.F. Nariman, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice Indu Malhotra.

The order stated, “All the Review petitions along with all pending applications will be heard in Open Court on the 22nd of January, 2019 before the appropriate Bench. We make it clear that there is no stay of the judgment and order of this court dated 28th September 2018 passed in Writ Petition No. 373 of 2006 (Indian Young Lawyers Association and Ors. vs. The state of Kerala and Ors.)”

The National Association of Ayyappa Devotees, the Nair Service Society and 17 other organisations filed petitions for the SC to review its judgement on the entry of women of menstrual age into the temple. The common reason stated in the petitions was that the temple’s residing God, Lord Ayyappa, is considered to be a celibate.

The Kerala High Court ordered the Travacom Devaswom Board, which runs the Sabarimala temple, to give an explanation for the violence which took place when the temple was recently opened for puja.

The temple is scheduled to open on the 16th of November for its final pilgrimage of the season. Lakhs of devotees are expected to come for ‘darshan.’ Women also registered online, seeking permission to enter the temple.

Rahul Easwar, one of the petitioners, took to Twitter and shared his view about the issue.


The Supreme Court also stated, the fresh petitions filed against its verdict will be heard only after it makes a decision about the previous petitions.
