SG Tushar Mehta told the Supreme Court that India respects women and rejected the idea of patriarchy in the Sabarimala case. The Centre argued temple entry rules are based on religious faith, not gender discrimination, as the court continues hearing the matter.
The Supreme Court issued notice today to K Babu, responding to a plea by CPI(M) leader M Swaraj challenging the election result of the 2021 Kerala Assembly polls. Swaraj alleges the use of religious symbols for votes by Babu, which the Kerala High Court rejected, citing lack of evidence. Babu is asked to respond to the plea.
