[07/04, 17:18] Meta AI: The Centre has told the Supreme Court that the 2018 judgment allowing women of all ages to enter the Sabarimala temple was wrong, arguing that the issue falls within the domain of religious faith and denominational autonomy, beyond judicial review. The nine-judge bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, is hearing review petitions challenging the 2018 verdict, which lifted the ban on women aged 10-50 entering the temple. ¹ ² ³

The Centre’s argument is based on the grounds that the restriction is rooted in the nature of the deity at the Sabarimala Temple and constitutes an essential religious practice. The Solicitor General, Tushar Mehta, emphasized that courts should not evaluate religious practices based on ‘rational,’ ‘modern,’ or ‘scientifically defensible’ standards. ⁴

The Supreme Court had previously ruled in 2018 that the ban was unconstitutional, with a 4-1 majority verdict. The current hearing is expected to have far-reaching implications for how courts interpret religious practices and gender justice in India. ⁵
