Sabarimala Ayyappa temple

The Kerala High Court ruled, "Ideally, the Travancore Devaswom Board ought to have exercised greater care to ensure that the quantity of jaggery supplied by the manufacturer did not bear symbols, markings or declarations that could give rise to an apprehension of conflict with the religious customs and practices followed at the Temple."

The imitation weighs only 240 grams, but the real gold crown, which was donated to the temple, weighed 445.78 grams.

Justice Amanullah asked whether this position applied only to Hindu institutions. Mehta responded that constitutional discussions should not be seen through the lens of any one religion.

Justice Sundresh also questioned whether courts can decide questions relating to religion without hearing the representatives of millions.

The hearing, which will begin on 7th April before the 9-judge bench of Supreme Court, will conclude on 22nd April.
