A dispute between a woman teacher and the headmistress of a school at Edappatta in the district over the freedom to wear the dress of her choice was resolved following the intervention of the State Human Rights Commission.
The dispute over the leggings issue at C.K.H.M.G.H.S. School, Edappatta, had reached the Human Rights Commission after the headmistress objected to the woman teacher wearing the skinny pants.
The commission judicial member K. Baijunath found fault with both the teacher and the headmistress, and directed them to settle the issue. It was the teacher who approached the commission saying that it was her right to wear the dress of her choice and that the government had permitted that right.
