A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said the state government's fresh plea against the appointment of a three-member panel would be taken up in regular court.

The activist was booked following a complaint by Radhakrishna Menon who alleged that Fathima's Facebook posts hurted religious sentiments. Fathima was later arrested from office in Palarivattom in Kochi.
"Two of the detainees have criminal cases registered against them at local police stations. They were taken into custody based on intelligence report," the official said.
The chief minister asserted Sabarimala would not be allowed to be transformed into a "centre of violence" and his government "will not compromise" with those perpetrating violence in the temple complex.
The protestors, including women, squatted on roads, blocking traffic at various places, including in state capital Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Thrissur, Palakkad and in front of Kottarakara sub-jail, where Surendran has been lodged, and also the northernmost Kasaragod district.

The police arrested people from Pathanamthitta - the district where the temple is located, Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, Ernakulam and elsewhere.
The Supreme Court Tuesday said it would hear on November 13 multiple petitions challenging the Sabarimala verdict allowing entry of women of all age groups into the shrine that remained unimplemented following week-long protests.
