[Day 9: Sabarimala Reference]

Supreme Court nine-judge bench to resume hearing submissions around key issues regarding religious freedom (Articles 25/26), judicial review of faith-based customs, and the 2018 Sabarimala verdict

#Sabarimala #SupremeCourt Image
Adv Nizam Pasha begins submissions
Adv Pasha: The reason we were constrained to file this intervention application is because a writ petition came to be filed before the Delhi High Court following the Sabarimala judgment. The petitioner, a law student who had come to Delhi for an internship, visited the Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah and was stopped from entering the sanctum sanctorum, the small enclosure where the grave is housed. She claimed that this was a violation of her rights as declared in Sabarimala.
The relief sought before the High Court was a declaration that the practice of prohibiting women from entering the sanctum sanctorum of the Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah is illegal and unconstitutional.
This raises the issue which has been troubling the Court, namely whether a complete third party, a non believer, can enter a place of worship and demand that matters of faith must yield to their individual claims. This is a stark example of such a situation.

[Case of rape of a four year old girl in Ghaziabad]

Sr Adv N Hariharan: They have dragged father and wants to record Sextion 164 croc statement. If investigation is complete then why to record it now. You say chargesheet is filed and now this. Police man can be seen dragging the father. The father is right here. He was asked not to change the statement. If trial is there then he will be summoned. He was dragged by police..these two hospitals have filed affidavits saying the child was alive..where is the need for coercion.Image
Hariharan: As far as this situation is concerned. The investigation officers etc are behaving very differently. Not a single person examined in the hospital. Why is it that they are shielding the hospital. This requires a probe
Hariharan: no medical attention was given to the child. They had the facilities.

CJI: records indicate as alleged by the father of the child is duly noticed in our earlier order. Petitioner grievance has been that their needs to be fair probe and that there is negligence on part of local police and two private hospitals.

They also allege that they have not received the allowances payable to them for election duty. Image
The petitioners are members of the Jojnt Council of State Service Organisation of govt employees.

Despite specific directions to pay
₹6000 per BLO for the SIR of electoral rolls, members of the petitioner association claim to have received only ₹2000 for months of work.
"The members of the 1st petitioner association undertook several months of work as part of the SIR of electoral roles as Booth Level Officers, going door to door in unfavourable weather conditions. While the Chief Electoral Officer has commended the BLOs for their work,
the commensurate incentives have not been paid", the petitioners contend.
