Hope for Women in Sabarimala Case: SC Refers The Matter To Constitution Bench

 The Supreme Court on Friday referred the matter relating to the entry of women at Kerala's historic Sabarimala Temple for the consideration of Constitution Bench.

 A bench of three judge - CJI Dipak Misra, Justice Banumati and Ashok Bhushan said several issues have been framed for the consideration of the Constitution Bench.

The matter includes whether the entry ban amounts to discrimination against women? , the exclusion essential religious practice ? , whether it is essential to manage the administration of the shrine?, whether Rule 3 of Kerala Hindu Places of Religious Worship Act is ultra vires of the Constitution etc.

During the last hearing the bench asked the parties, including the amicus curiae, to furnish questions which can be referred to the larger bench if it eventually decides that way.

In February, 2017 the bench headed by justice Dipak Misra reserved the verdict on the question whether the matter should go to a larger bench or not.

“It is hereby directed that the Ld counsels for the parties shall file written submissions/ questions which should fall under the constitutional framework, that is likely to be referred to the larger bench”, the bench said.

The apex court had on July 11, 2016 also indicated that it may refer to a five-judge constitution bench the issue of the centuries-old practice of barring entry of women between 10 and 50 years of age in the historic Sabarimala temple, saying it pertains to violation of fundamental rights.
