Muslim students of Karnataka move to SC to allow hijab

Patna (Imam Ali/Insaaf Times) Senior advocate Meenakshi Arora, appearing on behalf of the students of Karnataka Arora requested the apex court to list the hijab matter on priority since examinations are slated to commence on February 6, 2023.

She said “This is the headscarf matter and the girls have practical examinations from February 6, 2023, and this matter needs to be listed as soon as possible.

A group of girl students from Karnataka on Monday approached the Supreme Court, requesting a directive to allow government institutions in the state of Karnataka to permit them to sit for examinations wearing hijab.Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dhananjaya Chandrachud said he will consider setting up a three-judge bench to take up the matter given a split verdict by two judges of the previous bench in October 2022.

CJI said “I will examine the matter and allot a date.Arora pointed out that most of the girl students have migrated to some private colleges given the continuing prohibition by the state government on wearing hijab in educational institutions in Karnataka.

“However, exams can only be conducted in government colleges, private colleges cannot conduct exams. That’s why we want this matter to be taken up for interim orders.
