Karnataka Hijab Row: Girl students seek permission to appear in exams wearing hijab, appeals to Supreme Court

Posted on 22nd Feb 2023 01:59 pm by rohit kumar

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it will consider a plea to allow girls in government schools in Karnataka to appear for examinations wearing hijabs. Chief Justice D.Y. A bench headed by Chandrachud was told that girls wearing hijab are not being allowed to appear for the examination beginning March 9 following the Supreme Court's decision.

 

Advocate Shadan Farasat appealed to SC

Advocate Shadan Farasat said that she wears a headscarf and if girl students wear it then they are not allowed inside the examination hall. The council said that keeping in view only the limited aspect, the court may consider listing it on Monday or Friday.

 

'Girls may have another bad year'

He told the bench that due to the ban on wearing hijab, some girls have gone to private institutions, but they will have to appear for their exams in government institutions. He said that if permission is not given, he may lose another year.

 

CJI Chandrachud said – I will decide on this

After hearing the counsel's submission, Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said I will decide on this. The split verdict on October 13 last year stalled a permanent solution to the hijab dispute, as both judges suggested placing the matter before a larger bench for adjudication. The court had last month said that it would consider setting up a three-judge bench to adjudicate on the matter related to the ban on wearing hijab in government schools in Karnataka.
