New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday, directed the Kerala Police to provide round-the-clock security to the 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 of the two women and would not like to entertain any other prayer made in the petition.
The bench also refused to tag the matter along with the pending petitions in the Sabarimala case.
It was hearing the petitions of Bindu, 42, CPI(ML) activist from Kozhikode district’s Koyilandy, and Kanakadurga, 44, a civil supplies department employee from Angadipuram, who had entered the Sabarimala shrine on January 2.
“We deem it appropriate to entertain this writ petition by directing the Kerala Police to provide adequate security round the clock to petitioner number 1 (Bindu) and petitioner 2 (Kanakdurga). Beyond that we don’t want to go into any of the issues,” the bench said.
Senior advocate Vijay Hansaria, appearing for the Kerala government informed the court that ill now 51 female devotees have entered the shrine. (PTI)
