MANGALURU: A Muslim girl student at the university college in the city, who was served notice by college authorities for violating its dress code, attended class without wearing hijab. College principal Anasuya Rai said show-cause notices were issued to three students for violating the order against the hijab.
Two girls had given explanations while the third student is yet to respond to the notice. One student who replied to the notices attended classes on Saturday, the principal said.

The prescription of school uniform is only a reasonable restriction, constitutionally permissible which the students cannot object to, according to a three-judge bench of the court.
