New Delhi :Women of all age groups will now be allowed in Kerala's Sabarimala temple as Supreme Court of India permitted entry of women temple complex. 4 judges have the same opinion in the Sabarimala temple case while one dissenting opinion by Justice Indu Malhotra, CJI Dipak Misra reading out the verdict and said that Devotees of Lord Ayyappa are Hindus,don't constitute a separate religious denomination.

He added, “No physiologicala and biological factor can be given legitimacy if it doesn't pass the test of conditionality.Restrictions put by Sabarimala temple can't be held as essential religious practice”.

 CJI Dipak Misra on the ban on entry of women age group 10 to 50 in Kerala’s Sabarimala temple, said that Women no way inferior to men. He noted that on one hand, women are worshipped as Goddesses, but there are restrictions, on the other hand, adding the relationship with God can't be defined by biological or physiological factors.

Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra asserted that the right to worship is given to all devotees and there can be no discrimination on the basis of gender.

Supreme court observed that the practice of barring women in age group of 10-50 to go inside the temple is violative of constitutional principles.

A five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra had reserved its order in the case in August on pleas. These clutch of pleas challenged the age-old practice pertains an entry of women to the Lord Ayyappa temple. A month earlier, the top court had said a woman has as much right to go into any temple as a man. There is no law of private temple in the nation. It added that Temple is not a private property, it is a public property. In such a case, if a person is permitted to enter the public property, then the woman should also be acceptable to enter. CJI Misra had said that once you open the temple, then anyone can go to it.
