    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 by 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.

      Dave : Yesterday, Justice Joseph's bench had raised concerns about hate speech media. Media is being used by political organizations. The Solicitor General mentioned PFI and the media headlines were about that.

      Dave : Kindly turn to the Kar Govt Circular of 5th Feb, I want to show something interesting.

      Dave reading from circular - However, it has been brought to the notice of dept that some students have been carrying out "religious observances" which has become a hindrance to unity and equality.

      Dave : The circular has no issue of PFI..the High Court dismissed a petition seeking CBI/NIA probe..I regret that the learned Solicitor General raise this issue, and the media picked it up.
