NEW DELHI: Arguments on the review pleas filed against Supreme Court verdict allowing women of all ages toenter Sabarimala, has started. Advocate K Parasaran appearing for NSS said the court passed the order without considering many constitutional matters and this is absolutely wrong.

"If women of all ages are permitted, the Ayyappa idol in Sabarimala will lose its celibacy," said advocate Giri, who appeared for the tantri.

The pleas are considered by a five-member constitutional bench led by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justices A M Khanwilkar, Rohington Nariman, D Y Chandrachud and Indu Malhotra. The court considered 65 pleas seeking review of is September 28 judgment. The pleas have been filed by individuals and various organisations.

Advocate K Parasaran pointed out that the verdict was pronounced without considering important issues. Constitutional rights have been violated in the judgment and so the verdict is wrong. "According to Article 15 of the Constitution, it is not right to consider temples as public places and it is also 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.
