Sabarimala: Supreme Court to hear petitions after considering review pleas

New Delhi: The Supreme Court said that it will hear writ petitions seeking ban on entry of girls and women between the age group of 10 to 50 to Sabarimala, only after it decides the review pleas seeking recall of its September 28 verdict that cancelled all ban on women's entry to the Lord Ayyappa shrine.

The review petition is listed for consideration by a five-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justice Indu Malhotra at 1500 hours.
