Justice Dixit : Not even one anti-social element is made a party. No explanation is given for not making a party. How can this petition be entertained?
CJ : Better you file a proper petition. Make proper averments. College is not made a party. What kind of a petition is this!
Ahmed seeks permission to amend the petition to add the college.
Justice Dixit : Where is the averment that the college is preventing. He says anti-social elements are preventing. None of them are made parties. College is not made a party.
Ahmed : The order of this Court is not clearly understood by everyone. Every institution where hijab used to be allowed, are now stopping.
CJ : Are you studying in a govt college?
Ahmed says a private college.
CJ : The college is not made a party.
CJ: You are yourself saying there was no prevention or force to remove hijab, now some anti elements are forcing them to remove the hijab.
Lawyer : Even college authorities are not permitting.
CJ: What you have mentioned in the petition is not what you are saying
One lawyer mentions about the prevention of wearing hijab
CJ: If some anti-social elements are preventing you, then go lodge an FIR against them.
