    Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Hemant Gupta and Sudhanshu Dhulia will hear a batch of petitions challenging the ban on wearing Hijab in educational institutions in Karnataka.

    A batch of 23 petitions is listed before the bench. Some of them are writ petitions filed directly before the Supreme Court seeking the right to wear hijab for Muslim girl students. Some others are special leave petitions which challenge the judgment of the Karnataka High Court dated March 15 which upheld the hijab ban.

    The SLPs have been filed against the judgment dated March 15 passed DAY 6by the High Court of Karnataka, upholding Government Order dated 05.02.2022, which has effectively prohibited Petitioners, and other such female Muslim students from wearing the headscarf in their Pre-University Colleges. A Full Bench of the High Court comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi, Justice Krishna Dixit and Justice JM Khazi held that wearing of hijab by women was not an essential religious practice of Islam. The Bench further held the prescription of uniform dress code in educational institutions was not violative of the fundamental rights of the petitioners.

      Dhar : The verse Allah is merciful and forgiving has confused Ahmad Ali. But it does not mean you don't have to follow suras. It is not that if you don't wear hijab Allah will forgive. Author is totally wrong. It is his interpretation.

      Dhar points out to Suras stating that women need to cover their heads.

      Dhar : Ahmad Ali's commentary is wrong.

      Justice Dhulia : High Court relied on Ahmad Ali saying Supreme Court has also referred.

      Dhar : He is wrong (then refers to certain documents)

      J Dhulia : Aap ne bhi commentary likha hai kya?

      Dhar : I have read the whole Quran.

      Justice Gupta : These were read by Mr.Salman Khurshid, Mr.Mucchala, Mr.Pasha, why repeat?

    • 15 Sept 2022 11:32 AM IST

      Dhar : The point is if they are revealed to Prophet, they are mandatory. Karnataka HC says they are directory.

      Dhar referring to another sura.

    • 15 Sept 2022 11:31 AM IST

      Dhar refers to suras in Arabic.

      Justice Gupta : Mr.Dhar, we don't know Arabic.

      Dhar : I will give the translations.

    • 15 Sept 2022 11:30 AM IST

      Dhar : What Karnataka High Court has held is wrong.

      Justice Gupta : May or may not be, we are taking an independent view.

    • 15 Sept 2022 11:30 AM IST

      Justice Dhulia : All these arguments have been made by Mr.Mucchala.

      Dhar : I want to show.

      Justice Gupta : One argument is that we can't interpret Quran. That was the argument of Dr.Dhawan, Mr.Mucchala and Mr.Kamat to an extent.

    • 15 Sept 2022 11:29 AM IST

      Dhar : There are 3 suras..

      Justice Gupta : Have you filed your written submissions?
