Live: Supreme Court to take up long-pending Sabarimala verdict review today

Sabarimala SC Hearing Live Updates: A nine-judge bench of the Supreme Court will begin final hearings from April 7 on petitions concerning discrimination against women at religious places, including the Sabarimala temple, and the scope of religious freedom. The Constitution bench is led by Chief Justice Surya Kant. The case stems from a 2018 verdict, in which the top court, by a 4-1 majority, allowed entry of women aged 10 to 50 into the Sabarimala shrine, calling the ban unconstitutional. In 2019, a separate five-judge bench referred broader questions on women’s entry and religious freedom across faiths to a larger bench for consideration. The Centre and the Kerala government have backed pleas for a review of the 2018 verdict. Stay with Indiatoday.in for the latest updates.
