Indira Jaising: Basic feature of Indian Constitution which is gender justice

February 06, 2019 15:00

Senior counsel Indira Jaising making her submissions in the SC: "The women who entered Sabarimala are facing social exclusion, a purification ceremony was held in temple after they entered. Purification ceremony being held affirms that menstruating women are considered 'polluted'," submits Jaising.

"What was at stake in the original hearing of this case was that of gender justice, submits Indira Jaising. On the dissenting judgment of Indu Malhotra, Jaising says it has relied upon other dissenting judgments. "If the judgment was against us, we would not have rioted," says Jaising. "We would have filed review and curative but not indulged in violence. A case for review is not made out. Your Lordships may keep in mind the basic feature of Indian Constitution which is gender justice," Jaising concludes while seeking positive directions to facilitate entry of women who have applied online.
