The Court held that review petitions are maintainable under Article 137 of the Constitution, with no restrictions on the Court's power to review judgments except specified grounds for civil and criminal proceedings. The SC determined it has jurisdiction to refer questions of law in pending review petitions, and since the reference was made by a five-judge bench, the proviso to Article 145(3) requiring minimum five judges was satisfied. The review petitions and reference were deemed maintainable. en-us Mon, 11 May 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 10:33:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=304196 The SC addressed the maintainability of review petitions challenging Rule 3(b) of Kerala Hindu Places of Public Worship (Authorisation of Entry) Rules, 1965, which restricted female devotees aged 10-50 from entering Sabarimala temple.
