The Supreme Court fixed the hearing of arguments on September 5 in a batch of petitions challenging a Karnataka High Court decision upholding a State Government order banning the wearing of hijab to classrooms while criticising the petitioner-students of “forum-shopping” for seeking an adjournment.
A Bench led by Justice Hemant Gupta issued notice on a plea to stay the High Court Order. Karnataka, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, accepted the notice and said no counter is required to be filed. The State said it is ready to argue the case on law on Monday.
