New Delhi:

The Supreme Court today will consider a series of petitions seeking a recall of the Constitutional Court's verdict allowing it to enter women aged 10 to 50 in the Temple of Lord Ayyappa in Sabarimala.

The seat of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Judges Rohinton Fali Nariman, AM Khanwilkar, DY Chandrachud and Indu Malhotra would review the petitions of examination in their chambers at 3 pm.

In addition, four other petitions relating to the Sabarimala Temple are to be heard today by a tribunal composed of Chief Justice Gogoi and Judges Sanjay Kishan Kaul and KM Joseph.

National Association of the Ayyappa Faithful, Nair Service The Society and 17 other organizations submitted the petition for review requesting a recall of the September 28 verdict.

The five-judge Constitution Commission, presided over by then President Dipak Mi Sra, wiped out the centuries-old tradition of the Lord Ayyappa Temple by a 4: 1 majority verdict.

The Ban made to women of menstruation, whose presence at the Sabarimala temple was considered "impure", was violated their fundamental rights and their constitutional guarantee of equality

The Nair Service Society's (NSS) review plea, one of the applicants stated that "without concluding that the issues raised concerned religious matters which do not fall within legally manageable standards, the majority decision in substance has the effect of concluding that the character of the deity may be changed on the basis of base of individual beliefs and beliefs, in violation of the principles of a particular religion or religious sect ".

The applicants also alleged that the verdict contains "errors of law" and the badumption that the practice of the temple is based on the notion of menstrual impurity is "factually wrong".

The SSN had stated in its plea that the deity is a "Naisti ka Brahmachari" or single, women under the age of 10 and after 50 years are eligible to adore and there is no practice of excluding the adoration of women.

"Therefore, the delay or 40 years of worship to wait for worship can not be considered exclusive and constitute an error of law in reading the judgment," said the plea.
