Breaking: Karnataka Hijab row- High court rules Wearing Hijab not essential practice in Islam
The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday ruled that wearing a hijab is not an essential practice in Islam
The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday ruled that wearing a hijab is not an essential practice in Islam. The crucial remarks from the high court come amid a massive controversy in the southern state, which began late last year over wearing of hijabs in the educational institutions.
Upholding the state government’s ban, the court on Tuesday said that “the prescription of school uniforms is a reasonable restriction”. The state government, the court said, “has the power to issue a government order”.
The Karnataka government order – dated February 5 – is “not unconstitutional”, the court said
The court was answering three key questions on the controversy: “1) Whether wearing hijab is an essential religious practice in Islamic faith protected under Article 25? 2. Whether prescription of school uniform is violative of rights. 3. Whether government order on February 5 was issued without application of mind and manifestly arbitrary?
