Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi's term of office is nearly over, and with it, some long-running legal sagas at the Supreme Court. One of these which isn't over, however, is the Sabarimala Temple controversy.
On Thursday, 14 November, CJI Gogoi decided that the issues at play in the review petitions – filed against the SC’s 2018 judgment allowing women of all ages to enter the temple – needed to be answered by a larger bench, of at least seven judges.
