Dhavan : The rationale in the Kerala case given by the Board was that to prevent malpractices in the AIPMT exam. But here, in Karnataka case, there is no rationale given.
Dhavan : The fact that large number of millions of women are wearing hijab bonafidely has been ignored. Hijab across the board is permitted in public places. So what is the basis to say hijab can't be in class room and is opposed to public order.

Dhavan says the Kerala HC has also referred to the references cited by the Karnataka HC judgment.
Justice Gupta : You want us not to do what the Kerala HC has done.
Dhavan : I agree. But if we were to interpret the text, the answer of the text is that it is farz. But I don't go that far. If it is a ritual that is prevalant, and is bona fide, your lordships will allow.
Justice Gupta : Regardless of the mandate of the holy book?
Dhavan : Provided it is not against the holy book. To that extent enquiry can be there.
