The Supreme Court emphasized on Thursday that while it values the opinions of esteemed intellectuals, it won't consider information from 'WhatsApp University'.
This discussion emerged during the hearing of petitions addressing women's rights to access religious sites, including the Sabarimala Temple, and the broader scope of religious freedoms in India.
Chief Justice Surya Kant and other justices, including B V Nagarathna and M M Sundresh, are exploring the balance between traditional practices and constitutional mandates.
