The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined early hearing on petitions seeking review of its September 28 verdict allowing women of all age groups into the Sabarimala temple in Kerala, and said they have been already listed for hearing.

A bench of Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices U U Lalit and K M Jospeh was told by a lawyer that the pleas, including the review petitions, be accorded urgent hearing.

"The Sabarimala temple is opening only for 24 hours between November 5 and November 6 and we have fixed the hearing on November 13," the apex court said.

When the lawyer persisted with his plea for urgent hearing, the bench said, "All you have to do is to wait for your turn."
