Supreme Court Bench Questions 'WhatsApp University' in Sabarimala Temple Gender Discrimination Hearing

The Supreme Court's nine-judge Constitution bench hearing the Sabarimala temple gender discrimination case said it cannot rely on information from 'WhatsApp University,' responding to senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul who cited Shashi Tharoor's article on judicial restraint. Justice BV Nagarathna made the remark during arguments on the scope of religious freedom across faiths. The bench is revisiting a 2018 ruling that lifted the ban on women aged 10-50 from entering the Sabarimala Ayyappa temple.
