Bengaluru, Oct 31: "None of the parts of judiciary have the right to deliver verdicts relating to religion. It is an issue that is best left to the society to decide. The judiciary is not right in getting involved with issues that are beyond its jurisdiction," felt former Karnataka Lokayukta, Justice N Santosh Hegde.

Speaking at a symposium organized by the department of political science of the college on 'recent verdicts of the Supreme Court - influence on socio-economical and political sectors' at the government arts college here on Tuesday October 30, Hegde said that it would have been sufficient if the top court had asked the devotees to hold discussions with the managing committees and take suitable decisions, in issues like allowing women into Sabarimala shrine, Ayodhya conflict etc. He felt that it is improper for the court to interfere in matters not within its powers. "Going by some recent judgements, it appears to me that the judiciary is transgressing its boundaries. I feel a sense of pain at the current state of affairs in the judiciary," he explained.

    When religious & political leadership fails to solve the problems either legal or spiritual the last resort is Judiciary, which Santosh Hegde needs to acknowledge being a retired judge himself.
    Shabarimala is not religious issue only but discrimination based on gender & their physical or biological aspect too which is against the constitution.
    The same way courts need to look into Title suit of the disputed site rather than religious sentiments, feelings or emotions based on mythology or beliefs in Ayodhya.
