The Supreme Court Of India (SCI) has notified a nine-judge bench to hear from
January 13 review petitions against its verdict allowing entry of women
of all ages in Sabarimala temple, clubbed with entry of women to Muslim
and Parsi places of worship
The bench, details of which were uploaded on the SCI website, will be headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde and comprise Justices R Banumathi, Ashok Bhushan, L Nageswara Rao, Mohan M Shantanagoudar, S Abdul Nazeer, R Subhash Reddy, BR Gavai and Surya Kant
It is to be noted that Justices RF Nariman and DY Chandrachud, who had ruled in favour of the entry of women of all ages in Sabarimala -- are not on the bench.
Also Justice Indu Malhotra who ruled against the entry of women is not a part of it either
Note
A five-judge bench had, in a 3:2 majority verdict on November 14, 2018 referred to a seven-judge bench the pleas seeking review of the 2018 judgement.
The SCI clubbed the curbs faced by Muslim women in connection with entry to mosques and dargahs and Parsi women, married to non-Parsi men, being discriminated from entering the Fire Temple
The majority verdict noted that it was essential to evolve a judicial policy to do "substantial and complete justice".
The court observed the issues surrounding the constitutional validity of religious practices, which discriminate against women specifically in connection with entry to a place of worship were not limited to the Sabarimala temple case.
