The Supreme Court on Monday upheld the reference to larger bench of the legal questions surrounding the entry of women into the Sabarimala temple. A nine-judge bench headed by CJI SA Bobde said the Supreme Court while exercising its powers under review jurisdiction, is empowered to frame legal questions and refer the same to a larger bench. The court also reframed questions to be heard by the bench.
