NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has started considering the pleas filed on women entry in Sabarimala. Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi has asked to explain what is wrong in the judgement. NSS’ review plea is first heard in the court. Advocate K Parasaran is appearing for the NSS.

Parasaran argued that according to Article 15 of the Constitution, it is not right to open the temples as public places. According to it, it is wrong to change the rituals of the temple. The customs cannot be equated to untouchability. It is only a religious custom, argued Parasaran in the court. Meantime, senior advocate Rohington Nariman has opposed this argument.

The Supreme Court will consider all pleas on women entry in Sabarimala. The apex court will consider review pleas, write pleas and the plea of the devaswom board. There are around 65 petitions seeking review of the judgment. The court had earlier informed that they would hear only the review pleas today. The court will consider the pleas at 10.30 am.
