Protests in Sabarimala not acceptable, says Kerala High Court

India TV News  

Turning down a bail plea by man arrested last month, the Kerala High Court on Thursday said protests against the entry of women to the Sabarimala temple were unacceptable "The protests at Sabarimala are not acceptable as it is against the verdict of the Supreme Court," a High Court bench said, rejecting the request for bail by Kochi resident Govind Madhusudhan. "If the bail application is considered, it will send wrong signals and similar incidents will recur again," the court said. Madhusudhan was arrested at the temple town during protests against the entry of women in the age group of 10 to 50, effectively opening up the shrine to all women. Similar protests were seen when the temple opened for a day on November 5 when three women were forced to return without offering prayers.
