Karnataka Hijab Row Verdict LIVE Updates: AG hails landmark judgment; appeal in SC likely
A three-judge bench of the Karnataka High Court comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi, Justice Krishna Dixit and Justice JM Khazi ruled that Hijab is not an essential practice in Islam. Thus, students can't wear Hijab while attending classes and have to cater to the prescribed uniform. The petitioners are likely to move the Supreme Court soon.
