The Supreme Court on Monday said the fundamental issue to be decided in the Karnataka hijab case is whether the State can impose limitations on the fundamental rights of students in classrooms.
"Can there be any limitations to fundamental rights in classrooms? Please address that question," Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia, who is part of the Bench led by Justice Hemant Gupta, asked senior advocate Dushyant Dave.
"My fundamental right can be exercised anywhere… Whether I am in my bedroom, my classroom or whether I am before Your Lordships," replied Mr. Dave, appearing for student-petitioners who have been proscribed from wearing hijab to class in Karnataka.
