Alappuzha: SNDP wing to move SC over Sabari priesthood

Deccan Chronicle  

Alappuzha: The Sree Narayana Vaidika Samithy, a wing of priests under the SNDP Yogam, has decided to move the Supreme Court against the Travancore Devaswom Board decision not to appoint a non-Brahmin priest to the post of Sabarimala chief priest. The application of Mr. Narayanan was rejected last year also and he had approached the High Court which appointed an amicus curiae in October, 2017. The Supreme Court judgment in 2002 had upheld the appointment of non-Brahmin priests to temples. In a case in 2015, a Supreme Court bench comprising Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice N.V. Ramana had refused to strike down an order of the Tamil Nadu government allowing the posting of non-Brahmin priests in temples.
