A nine-judge bench headed by Chief Justice S A Bobde is hearing several senior lawyers, including jurist FS Nariman, on the issue of framing of questions to be decided by it.
A reference relating to discrimination of women in various religions was made to a larger bench through a judgment delivered on November 14 last year in the Sabarimala case.
The bench has to frame questions that have a reason in various petitions relating to entry of Muslim women in two mosques, the practice of female genital mutilation in the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community and denial of the right to Parsi women who have married outside their religion.
