New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday said that exams have nothing to do with Hijab while hearing the mentioning of a plea seeking urgent hearing on a petition challenging the ban on sporting Hijab in educational institutes. Senior Advocate Devadatt Kamat, appearing for the petitioner mentioned his plea seeking urgent hearing on petitions challenging Karnataka High Court's order that dismissed petitions against the ban on Hijab in educational institutions.
Senior counsel Devadatt Kamat said that exams are starting on March 28 and students would lose a year as authorities are not allowing their entry in educational institutions with hijab. Chief Justice of India NV Ramana said, "Exams have nothing to do with the hijab issue." The Court also asked the counsel not to sensationalise the issue.
