SC declines urgent hearing on plea against Sabarimala order
The Supreme Court has declined a request for an urgent hearing on petitions challenging its recent verdict which allowed entry of women aged 10-50 years in Kerala's Sabarimala Temple. The apex court also refused to stay the verdict by a five-judge constitution bench. Meanwhile, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan recently reiterated his government's decision to not file a review petition.
