一 | New Delhi, Oct 12 (UNI) Supreme Court will tomorrow pronounce its judgement on a batch of petitions challenging the Karnataka High Court order upholding the ban on wearing a Hijab in educational institutions.
A two-judge bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Hemant Gupta and also comprising Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia, on September 26, had reserved its order, after hearing from all the parties -- 23 petitioners, their lawyers, Karnataka government -- for 10 days.
The Supreme Court will tomorrow pronounce the verdict on 23 petitions, including that of, Aishat Shifa, and others.
Karnataka government had argued in the Supreme Court that it had the authority to issue an order to educational institutions to follow the discipline of wearing the prescribed school uniforms.
Senior advocate Dushyant Dave, appearing for the students/ petitioners, argued that fundamental rights, freedom to choose to what to wear and freedom of faith would not diminish inside a classroom.
The lawyeres for the students -- Devadatt Kamat, Dr Rajeev Dhavan amd Dishyant Dave -- submitted to the Apex Court that the Karnataka State government had not presented even a single shred of evidence to support their claim that a few students wearing hijab to their classrooms in addition to their respective uniforms violated public order, health and morality.
The lawyers further said that the Karnataka government had not provide any material to support their claim that wearing hijab infringed on the fundamental rights of other students.
