Kerala’s vigilance court rejected former TDB president N Vasu’s bail plea in the Sabarimala gold loss case. The SIT, monitored by the Kerala High Court, has arrested six people so far, including two former TDB chiefs.
The Kerala High Court has granted temporary protection from arrest to former Travancore Devaswom Board officer S Sreekumar in the Sabarimala gold theft case. He has been named as the sixth accused in the alleged misappropriation of nearly 4 kg of temple gold during repair works.
Chief Justice DY Chandrachud defended the Sabarimala Verdict, asserting that untouchability extends beyond caste under Article 17 of the Indian Constitution. During the MK Nambyar Memorial Lecture, he criticized originalism and emphasized that the Constitution must evolve with societal changes, serving as a foundation for democratic culture rather than rigid rules.
