A five-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra, passed the verdict after hearing in detail the arguments from various petitioners, including Indian Young Lawyer's Association (IYLA), respondents. ''The right to worship is given to all devotees and there can be no discrimination on the basis of gender,'' CJI Misra said, while reading out the verdict, in a jam-packed courtroom.
