Hijab Controversy: No Solution Yet As High Court Defers Hearing

Bengaluru: Karnataka High Court on Monday adjourned hearing on petitions over the escalating hijab row in schools and colleges till Tuesday, ANI reported.

The Karnataka government issued an order banning hijab (headscarf) or any other political attire in schools and colleges, which has been challenged.

Advocate Dev Datt Kamat, appearing for the petitioners, argued that wearing headscarves is an essential practice of Islamic faith and that the “government order is in the teeth of Article 25 and it is not legally sustainable.”

The high court on Thursday restrained students from wearing hijab or religious attire till further orders.
