The Constitution Bench that heard the Sabarimala case comprised Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice R.F. Nariman, Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, and Justice Indu Malhotra. The judgment was delivered with a 4:1 majority, allowing women of all ages to enter the temple. Justice Indu Malhotra was the lone dissenter, holding that the issue was one of religious faith and not just gender discrimination, and courts should not interfere in such matters unless they were pernicious or oppressive.
