Karnataka HC restrains students from wearing saffron shawls, scarfs, hijab, religious flags in classroom for now
The Hindu
High Court of Karnataka: ‘The interest of students would be better served by their returning to classes than by the continuation of agitations and consequent closure of institutions... Whether wearing of hijab in the classroom is a part of essential religious practice of Islam needs a deeper examination’
The High Court of Karnataka has restrained all students regardless of their religion or faith from wearing saffron shawls (bhagwa), scarfs, hijab, religious flags or the like within classrooms until further orders in the petitions pending consideration on the issue of right to wear hijab in classrooms.
While making it clear that “this order is confined to such of the institutions wherein the College Development Committees have prescribed the student dress code/uniform,” the court requested the State Government and all other stakeholders to reopen the educational institutions and allow the students to return to classes at the earliest.
