The Karnataka High Court will on Tuesday deliver its judgment on the case related to the February 5 government notification that effectively banned wearing of religious attire, including hijab, in classrooms.
A bench headed by chief justice Ritu Raj Awasthi along with judges, justice Krishna S Dixit and Khazi Jaibunnisa Mohiuddin heard arguments for 11 days on a batch of petitions filed by sections of Muslim girls and others, praying that they be allowed to wear hijab in classrooms, before reserving the case for judgment on February 25.
The court, among other things, is seized of the question as to whether wearing of hijab forms an essential religious practice in Islam and whether the State can intervene such matters.
The court, by an order on February 11, had disallowed students from wearing any religious dress to classrooms till it decided on the writ petitions.
