Govt. to drop Sabarimala, CAA cases

The Cabinet on Wednesday decided to withdraw non-serious cases registered in connection with the socially turbulent agitation against the enactment of the Supreme Court’s majority decision in 2018 to permit women of all age brackets to worship at the Sabarimala Ayyappa temple. Simultaneously, it also reprieved those named as accused in trivial offences perpetrated during the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests. The Home Department would work out the modalities.
