Kannada actress Jaimala, accused of outraging religious feelings at the famed Sabarimala temple in Kerala, got a reprieve Thursday when the Kerala High Court stayed the state government permission to prosecute her and two others

The trial against the actress and the other accused was initiated in a court in Ranni, some 250 km from here, following her revelation that she touched the Sabarimala deity in 1987, violating temple tradition.
