SC asks Kerala govt to make law for Sabarimala temple administrationWe have read about the Sabarimala verdict as well as about Kerala's decision to not allow female devotees in the temple for the time being.

Now the Kerala government has been directed by the Supreme Court to frame a separate law for the administration of the Sabarimala temple.

The law has been to be framed by the third week of January 2020.
 	The state has said that it has formulated amendments to the current law that would deal with the temples and their administrations. The temple is currently being governed by the Travancore Devaswom Board.
 	However, the Supreme Court has said that the government should frame a new law, rather than putting in amendments into existing law.
 	The state has also put forward a proposal to give one-third representation to women in the temple advisory committee. However, it will only include women above 50 years of age for now.

This directive from the Supreme Court came during the hearing of a plea filed in 2011 which has raised the issue of administration of Sabarimala temple.
