Talking to ANI, women activist Brinda Adige said, 'Since&nbsp;last&nbsp;couple of months, we have been seeing that the Supreme Court is bringing out several progressive and landmark judgments. I am hoping that tomorrow also&nbsp;entry&nbsp;of women in Sabarimala would be positive. I am sure the&nbsp;judgement&nbsp;will also be very positive and landmark.'
Another women right activist Saswati Ghosh also pinned her faith on the apex court's decision. 'I hope it will allow women to enter the temple otherwise we cannot say it is&nbsp;secular&nbsp;country. The restriction will be removed hopefully,' Ghosh told ANI. Earlier, in February, the top court had reserved an order on referring the case to a constitution bench.
The apex court has been hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), challenging the ban on entry of women into the Sabarimala Hill Temple. The temple, situated in Pathanamthitta district, restricts women aged between 10 and 50 from taking the pilgrimage to Sabarimala Temple. In January 2016, the court had questioned the ban, saying this cannot be done under the Constitution.
