Hijab ban: HC verdict challenged in Supreme Court

Earlier in the day, a full bench of the Karnataka High Court dismissed a batch of petitions filed by Muslims girls from pre-university colleges in Udupi region of the state seeking the right to wear hijabs or headscarves along with uniforms inside classrooms. “We are of the considered opinion that wearing of the hijab by Muslim women does not make up an essential religious practice in Islamic faith,” the full bench said.
