The Karnataka High Court in its verdict had said that wearing Hijab will be a violation of school uniform rules, and it will lead to two categories of girl students -- those with hijab and those without it. "Two categories of girl students will establish a sense of ‘social-separateness’, which is not desirable," the court said in its verdict.
The court had further stressed that students have to adhere to the dress code and noted that the government has the power to issue orders banning clothes that could disturb the peace, harmony and public order and no case is made out for its invalidation. The Karnataka High Court also said that wearing of Hijab is not an essential religious practice in Islam.
