New Delhi: The matter has reached the Supreme Court after the Karnataka High Court upheld the ban on wearing hijab in schools. However, the Supreme Court, on the plea for an urgent hearing, said it would be heard after the Holi holidays. While the Karnataka High Court has said that the hijab is not a compulsory practice in Islam and the ban on it will continue in educational institutions, on the other hand, the burqa side has now approached the Supreme Court.

A petition has been filed in the apex court against the Karnataka High Court's verdict. The petitioner is a Muslim student who had also filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court. Islamic organisations are opposing the court's decision. The petition filed in the Supreme Court said the Karnataka High Court was unable to understand that wearing the hijab falls under the "right to privacy," which is part of Article 21 of the Constitution. At the same time, it also says that 'freedom of conscience' is also a part of it.

At the same time, the petition has said that the hijab is under "expression," saying that its protection has been given under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution. At the same time, former Karnataka CM BS Yeddyurappa said that the Karnataka High Court's verdict has once again proved that our Constitution is above religions and its beliefs.
