What Centre calls judicial excess is actually the courts protecting those left behind

What Happened

A nine-judge Supreme Court bench heard arguments on judicial oversight of religious practices in the Sabarimala Reference case.

The government contends courts should limit inquiries to parliamentary authority, avoiding constitutional values assessment. Scholars counter this restricts judicial protection of marginalized communities from discriminatory practices.
