'Are you the chief priest of country?'

|May 06, 2026
SLAMMING the Indian Young Lawyers Association (IYLA) over its 2006 PIL challenging prohibition of women aged 10 to 50 from entering the Sabarimala Temple in Kerala, the Supreme Court on Tuesday asked, “Are you the chief priest of the country”.
Observing that the PIL was an “abuse of process of law”, the court said the association should work for the bar and the welfare of its younger members rather than filing such PILs. “Why have you filed this PIL? Are you the chief priest of the country?” it added.
Justice B V Nagarathna, the lone lady judge on the bench, remarked, “The Indian Young Lawyers Association has no other business?” They can’t work for the welfare of the bar or assist the bench for the legal system of this country?”
