A vigilance court in Kollam granted statutory bail to Unnikrishnan Potti in the Sabarimala gold misappropriation case after the Special Investigation Team failed to file chargesheets within 90 days, as noted by Special Judge Mohit CS of Kerala case.
The Kerala High Court said it is satisfied with the progress of the SIT investigation into the alleged misappropriation of gold at the Sabarimala temple. The court observed that the probe is being properly monitored and rejected demands to hand over the case to the CBI.
The Kerala High Court remarked that even women had opposed the entry of women into the Sabarimala temple, highlighting the complexities of societal change. The court emphasized that true empowerment should start within households. It noted that when families support equality, the need for legislative intervention may reduce. The bench underlined that empowerment cannot be imposed, it must grow organically.
