These submissions are part of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta’s rejoinder to the arguments made by parties defending the SC intervention in allowing women to enter the Sabarimala temple.
One of the key questions before the bench is “the interplay between the rights of persons under Article 25 of the Constitution and the rights of religious denominations under Article 26”.
The court was hearing the submissions of Senior Advocate Indira Jaising on constitutional questions arising out of petitions seeking review of the September 28, 2018, judgment striking down restrictions on entry of women into the Sabarimala temple.
