Hijab Row: Plea Filed In Supreme Court Challenging Karnataka High Court Verdict

Challenging the verdict of the Karnataka High Court in the Hijab matter, six Muslim girls knocked on the doors of the Supreme Court on Tuesday alleging that the court had passed the order without applying its mind.

Filing a Special Leave Petition, the students alleged that the HC had ‘erred in creating a dichotomy of freedom of religion and freedom of conscience’. It also asserted that the order failed to note that the Karnataka Education Act, 1983, and the Rules made thereunder, do not provide for any mandatory uniform to be worn by students.
