SC Orders 24×7 Security to Women Who Entered Sabarimala, Refuses to Wade Into Purification Row

New Delhi: The Supreme Court directed the Kerala police on Friday to provide round-the-clock security to two women who had entered the Sabarimala temple.

A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and justices L N Rao and Dinesh Maheshwari said it was only going into the aspect of security to the two women and would not like to entertain any other prayer. The bench also refused to tag the matter along with the pending petitions in the Sabarimala case.

Earlier this month, the two women — Kanakadurga and Bindu — had stepped into the hallowed precincts guarded by the police, more than three months after the apex court’s historic judgment lifting the ban on the entry of girls and women between 10 and 50 years of age into the shrine of Lord Ayyappa, its “eternally celibate” deity.
