Desists from taking any decision as the issue is in the Karnataka High Court
The Karnataka Cabinet took stock of the untoward developments related to the hijab controversy in PU colleges, but desisted from taking any decision as the Karnataka High Court is seized of the matter.
Disclosing this to mediapersons in Bengaluru, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J. C. Madhuswamy said the Cabinet had discussed the ongoing developments. “But we did not take any decision in this regard since the Karnataka High Court is looking into the issue,” he said.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
