Faith vs. Equality: The Sabarimala Temple Case Explained | CLATapult CLAT Coaching in Kolkata

The Sabarimala case is back in the spotlight! The Supreme Court has officially constituted a nine-judge constitutional bench to hear the broader issues arising from the Sabarimala Temple entry case. Here is a quick breakdown of what you need to know for your legal current affairs. 📌 The Background: In 2018, a five-judge bench in the Indian Young Lawyer Association v. State of Kerala case allowed women of all age groups to enter the Sabarimala Temple. Previously, temple customs barred women between the ages of 10 and 50. The court ruled that this biological exclusion violated Articles 14, 15, and 25 of the Indian Constitution, declaring that constitutional morality must prevail over discriminatory practices. ⚖️ Why a 9-Judge Bench Now? Following the 2018 judgment, widespread protests led to several review petitions. In 2019, a five-judge bench kept these petitions pending and referred the broader constitutional questions to a larger bench. The new nine-judge bench will examine if courts can interfere in "essential religious practices" and how to balance religious freedom (Article 25) with equality (Article 14). The court will also consider whether similar restrictions in other religions need to be examined. This is no longer just about one temple; it is a fundamental question of how the constitution responds when faith and equality clash. #Sabarimala #SupremeCourtOfIndia #Article14 #Article25 #CLAT2025 #LegalGK #ConstitutionalLaw #LawStudent #CLATAspirants #CurrentAffairs CLATapult CLAT Coaching in Kolkata
