Supreme Court recognises right to clean environment as fundamental right
Central to this verdict was the Court's decision to lift a ban on overhead power lines spanning 99,000 square kilometres in parts of Gujarat and Rajasthan.
On September 28, this year, a five-judge constitution bench by a ratio of 4:1 had held that women of all age groups should be allowed entry in Kerala’s Sabarimala Temple.
The Supreme Court on Monday said it would decide on Tuesday as to when the petitions, seeking review of its Sabarimala verdict allowing entry of women of all age groups into the temple, will be listed for hearing.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice S K Kaul considered the submissions of lawyer Mathews J Nedumpara that his petition seeking review of the constitutional bench judgment be listed for urgent hearing.
“We know that there are 19 review petitions pending on Sabarimala verdict. By tomorrow we will decide,” the bench said.
