The Supreme Court on January 25 decided to examine an appeal filed by the Kerala unit of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) against a State High Court decision refusing their plea to run free bus service for Sabarimala pilgrims from Nilackal to Pamba.
A Bench of Justices Surya Kant and K.V. Viswanathan issued notice to the State government, the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation, which currently plies buses in the route under question, and the Travancore Devaswom Board for their responses to the appeal.
