The Supreme Court upheld institutions' right to prohibit the wearing of hijab at educational institutions on Thursday while dismissing petitions seeking an immediate hearing on the topic in response to the Karnataka High Court's judgement. The petitioner's attorney was told by the Court not to make the matter "sensational."
The Supreme Court also declined to set a date for hearing the appeals. "It has nothing to do with the test...don't sensationalize," Chief Justice NV Ramana stated in response to the petitioner's counsel's plea to hear the case based on the girl students' exams.
Devdutt Kamat, a senior attorney, stated "The examination is scheduled to begin on March 28. A year will be squandered. All of these girls are barred from attending school. Court could set a date for next week." The CJI refused to listen to him after he made his plea.
