New Delhi, July 13
The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear next week the petitions challenging the Karnataka High Court’s decision refusing to lift the ban on hijab in educational institutions in the state.
A bench of Chief Justice NV Ramana and Justices Krishna Murari and Hima Kohli took note of the submissions of advocate Prashant Bhushan that the cases were filed long back but were yet to be listed for hearing.
“Girls are dropping out of studies,” Bhushan said.
“It will be listed sometime next week,” the bench said.
