Former judge of the Supreme Court of India, Justice Markandey Katju, has slammed the verdict of the Supreme Court in the Sabarimala temple entry issue where women have been allowed entry into the hill temple and the decriminalisation of adultery.

In a strongly worded tweet, Justice Katju expressed his support to the dissent of Justice Indu Malhotra by observing that “ Justice Indu Malhotra's judgment is correct,& majority is wrong. With this judgment & s.497 one, SC has embarked on a perilous unpredictable path of over activism like US SC in the 1930s utterly lacking in self-restraint, heading for we know not where”.
