Kerala High Court
A petition has been submitted in the Kerala High Court seeking a direction to set aside the notification issued by the Travancore Devaswom Board which prescribes that only Malayala Brahmins alone are entitled to apply to the post of Melsanthi (head priest) in Sabarimala and Malikappuram Temples.
The petition has been filed by Sijith TL and Vijeesh PR through advocate TR Rajesh. The petition contends that the prescription in the notification to the effect that only Malayala Brahmin of Kerala origin alone is entitled to apply for being appointed as Melsanthi in Sabarimala and Malikappuram Temples is a violation of the Fundamental Right guaranteed under Article 14, 15 and 16 of the Constitution of India.
