SC starts hearing on ban on womenâs entry into Sabarimala temple
The Supreme Court on Tuesday commenced its hearing on issue of the ban on entry of women between 10 and 50 years of age in Kerala's Sabarimala temple. A five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra asked counsels not to go into unnecessary things. Earlier, the temple's management said ban was to maintain "purity" on account of menstruation.
