SC to decide on shifting Sabarimala issue to a larger bench

The Supreme Court reserved its verdict on whether to refer the matters pertaining to the ban on entry of women aged between 10 to 50 years at Kerala’s Sabrimala temple to its constitution bench.

A three-judge bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra said it would deliver a judgement regarding the “complexities of the issue” and may refer the matter to a larger bench for its consideration.

“We have heard the counsel appearing for the parties.

Judgement reserved on the question whether the matter should go to a larger bench or not,” the bench, also comprising Justices R Banumathi and Ashok Bhushan, said.
