After failing to get a favourable response from the Karnataka High Court on wearing of hijab in government schools and colleges, a Muslim girl on Tuesday knocked on the doors of the Supreme Court.
The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday put the ball in the court of education institutes, stating that since hijab is an essential part of Islam, it is the discretion of these institutes to decided on the dress code, and that the government has the power to issue an order, so no case is made out for disciplinary action against it.
The Karnataka High Court on Thursday said that mediation was possible in the case related to petitions seeking quashing of Karnataka government order prohibiting them from wearing Hijab in educational institutions, only if both the petitioner and the respondents (State and College Development Committees) agree.
The Karnataka High Court has expunged the derogatory remarks made by Justice Krishna S Dixit on the conduct of the rape victim while granting bail to the rape accused.
Women Rights Activists have written an open letter to Justice Krishna S Dixit of the Karnataka High Court against his remark on the rape victim while hearing a bail petition.
