New Delhi: Wearing Hijab not an essential religious practice, says Karnataka High Court.
HC Dismisses writ petitions filed by Muslims girl students seeking permission to wear Hijab in colleges. Court holds prescription of uniform as a reasonable restriction.
The state government has banned large gatherings for a week in state capital Bengaluru “to maintain public peace and order”. Mangalore too has banned large gatherings from March 15 to 19. The Udupi district administration has declared a holiday in schools and colleges today.
Ahead of the verdict, Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jnanendra met Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai at his residence to brief him on the security and police department.
