New Delhi, November 13: The Supreme Court on Tuesday said it would hear on January 22 petitions seeking review of the Sabarimala judgment allowing women of all age groups into the shrine.

The court also said that there would be no stay on its verdict which allowed entry of women of all age groups to the temple.

The apex court also decided to go for open court hearings of the petitions seeking a recall of its order.
Earlier on Tuesday morning, the Supreme Court made it clear that fresh pleas related to the temple would be heard only after it decided the earlier petitions seeking review of the judgment.

A bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi had said that a five-judge bench was scheduled to hear in-chamber the review petitions at 3 pm on Tuesday.

“Writ petitions will be heard after the orders in the review petitions,” the bench, also comprising justices SK Kaul and KM Joseph, had said.

The bench had said this while hearing the three fresh petitions filed by G Vijaya Kumar, S Jaya Rajkumar and Shailaja Vijayan challenging its September 28 verdict. Agencies
