Supreme Court moved for safe passage to all women at Sabarimala Temple

New Delhi: A woman, who was allegedly attacked while she attempted to visit the Sabarimala temple, moved the Supreme Court on Monday seeking directions for the Kerala government to ensure safe passage to any women visiting the temple.

Bindu A, who identifies herself from the Dalit background, had attempted to visit Sabarimala temple on November 26, but was “however, attacked in front of the office of the Commissioner of Police, Ernakulam District”. Some chemical substances causing a burning sensation on the body, were sprayed at her face.”

Last month, a five-judge bench of the apex court, in its decision on a review petition challenging the September 2018 judgement which allowed women of all age groups to gain to the temple, referred the matter to a seven-judge bench. It did not, however, stay the 2018 judgement. (IANS)
