The Supreme Court will hear on Friday a plea for round-the-clock police protection for two women who had entered the Sabarimala temple, as they have been getting threats.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said the matter would be taken up on January 18 after senior counsel Indira Jaising mentioned the plea for early hearing on Thursday.

Kanaka Durga and Bindu Ammini triggered outrage leading to widespread protests in Kerala after they entered Lord Ayappa's shrine on January 2.
