New Delhi, 29 August 2022

As per news report of NDTV, Next hearing was set for September 5, though the bench today was not pleased at some of the petitioners having sought adjournment after first asking for urgent hearing. "We won't allow forum shopping. You only wanted urgent hearing. What changed now?” remarked the bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and Sudhanshu Dhulia. The Karnataka High Court, in March, held that wearing of hijab is not a part of the essential religious practice that can be protected under Article 25 of the Constitution. It had dismissed petitions by a section of Muslim students from Government Pre-University Girls College in Udupi, seeking permission to wear hijab inside classroom. A number of individuals and organisations went to the Supreme Court against the verdict.
