NEW DELHI: It is reported that the Supreme Court will not consider the Sabarimala woman's entry issue which has created a lot of uproar soon. The Sabarimala woman entry issue is not included in the list of petitions that will be considered by the nine-member bench of the Supreme Court on the 12th.

The Supreme Court issued the historic verdict allowing women to enter Sabarimala, on September 28, 2018. Later, the five-judge bench that considered the matter left the petitions for review by a larger bench. Only four cases, considered by the nine-judge bench, are listed. Six cases, which are being heard by the seven-judge bench, are also listed. These are the issues that the court is currently considering in the Sabarimala women's entry issue.

1. Petitions against the judgment passed on September 28, 2018, allowing entry to women.
2. A petition filed by the Indian Young Lawyers Association in 2006 for the entry of women.
3. Application filed by Travancore Devaswom Board seeking a delay in implementation of the judgment.

The issue of women's access to Sabarimala came up in the court when the High Court considered a letter sent by S. Mahendran in 1990 to a judge of the High Court as a PIL.

Mahendran sent the letter citing the Choroonu/Annaprashan ceremony of Devaswom ex-commissioner Chandrika's grandson as an example, pointing out that young women enter Sabarimala and offer prayers and special treatment is given to the wives of VIPs. A photograph of Chandrika, her daughter and relatives, including women, that appeared in the newspaper on August 19, 1990, was sent along with the letter. The High Court took up the case on its own accord after sending notices to the concerned parties.

In 2006, a writ petition by the Indian Young Lawyers Association reached the Supreme Court seeking women's entry into Sabarimala. In this, the state government was made the opposite party. The Supreme Court sought the government's opinion. On November 13, 2007, the VS Achuthanandan government submitted an affidavit. The subsequent UDF government withdrew this affidavit and issued a new one opposing women's entry.

A five-judge bench headed by former Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi ruled that the Sabarimala case, the entry of women in Muslim and Parsi places of worship and the Dawoodi Bohra case would be considered together by a larger constitution bench. The verdict was by a majority of 3:2.
