Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana on Tuesday asked students, who have been denied access to their classrooms for choosing to wear hijab, to wait for two days for their appeals to come up in the Supreme Court.
“Please wait for two days... I will list,” Chief Justice Ramana assured senior advocate Meenakshi Arora, who made an oral mentioning for early hearing of the case on behalf of the students.
Students have approached the Supeme Court against a Karnataka High Court judgment which had held that wearing hijab was not an essential religious practice in Islam.
