Sabrimala temple case is one of the most prominent case in the history of India.The facts of the case were, that the women devotees from the age group of 10 to 50 years were not permitted to enter the temple premises. In 1990 a petition was moved to the Kerala High court seeking a complete ban on the entry of the women devotees inside the sabrimala temple, the petition was allowed and the Kerala High court imposed a permanent restriction on the entry of the women pilgrims in the Sabrimala Temple. In the year 2006 Indian Young lawyers association appealed in the Supreme Court against the order of the Kerala High Court. They argued that the Kerala High court decision is against the Article 14,15 and the ancient old practice discriminates the rights of the women devotees on the basis of there gender. In 2017,the matter was referred to the constitutional bench which uplifted the ban imposed on the entry of the women pilgrims inside the sabrimala temple. The Supreme Court was of the opinion that the article 14 and article 25 allows the women to workship at the place of there choice and hence the women devotees cannot be prevented from entering the sabrimala temple.The Supreme Court constitutional bench with ratio of 4:1 passed there verdict allowing the women's from all the age group to enter the sabrimala temple.
