Senior Advocate Indira Jaising mentioned before the Chief Justice of India a petition filed for round-the-clock Police protection for Bindu & Kanaka Durga.
The two women who had entered Sabarimala on 2nd Janaury.
On Thursday, Sr. Adv. Indira Jaising sought for urgent listing of the matter saying that the women were living under constant fear, & they need Police protection & security from the agitated mob who protest their temple entry.
Agreeing to the request, the CJI Ranjan Gogoi said that the matter will be listed tomorrow.
The entry of these 2 women in the temple in exercise of the Right declared by the Supreme Court for women of all ages to enter Sabarimala had triggered off violent protests across the state.
Two days ago, Kanaka Durga was hospitalised after sustaining injuries allegedly inflicted by her in-laws who were peeved with her temple entry.
