Bangalore: “The ban on hijab is only in the classroom and during class hours” Government of Karnataka The lawyer said in the High Court.
The students’ case related to wearing hijab came up for hearing today before a bench comprising Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi, Justices Krishna S Dixit and JM Ghazi. Government of Karnataka On behalf of the Advocate General (AG) Prabhupada Navatki began his argument today.
“Wearing the hijab is not an essential religious practice of Islam, but if it is considered an essential religious practice, Islamic women will be compelled to wear it as well. Religions cannot be recognized by judicial notification.
Insisting that the wearing of the hijab be made compulsory is unconstitutional. Hijab The decision of whether or not to wear it should be left to the women concerned. Under Section 19 (1) (a) and Section 25 of the Constitution of India Hijab It was argued on behalf of the students that wearing was part of the right to freedom of expression. This is completely wrong. Moreover, this argument is in stark contrast to the current problem.
Article 19 (1) (a) guarantees freedom of expression. In the country Hijab There is no ban on wearing. Hijab The right to wear is subject to reasonable restrictions under Article 19 (2). But in this case, under Rule 11 (Karnataka Education Act), institutions including educational institutions are making provision to enforce restrictions on matters including dress under their law.
Islamic students on school campus Hijab There are no restrictions on wearing. Only in the classroom and during class hours Hijab The ban imposed by the government says do not wear. It applies equally to all, regardless of religion. “
