What happened

The Special Investigation Team has informed the Kerala High Court that its final report in the Sabarimala gold-theft investigation will be filed soon after the inquiry is completed.

Why the case matters

The Sabarimala case combines criminal law, temple administration, and public accountability. It is relevant to GS2 because it involves the functioning of investigative agencies and judicial oversight, and to GS1 because Sabarimala is a major cultural and religious institution in Kerala.
