BREAKING: @RashmiDVS approaches Karnataka HC in ongoing #HijabRow case. Inter alia avers “alarmed at purported attempt to introduce symbols widely regarded as tending to promote discrimination & exclusion of women in state-run edu. institutions under garb of Freedom of Religion”

.@RashmiDVS tells Karnataka HC that she herself was once a student of PU College & recalls that she & peers adhered to a strict uniform code which they welcomed as it “fostered sense of sameness & community”, “fulcrum upon which entire student body united” #HijabRowInKarnataka

Despite views expressed by noted scholars & activists such as “Hijab is meant to keep muslim women oppressed” (Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed), “Veil not mandatory in Islam” (Indian muslims for secular democracy) etc, religious chauvinism being pushed: @RashmiDVS to #KarnatakaHC

Some highlights from #HijabBan case hearing.

Petitioner : Kannada word used in GO means "public order". Same word used for "public order" in Kannada translation of Constitution.

Bench : GO can't be interpreted like statute or Constitution.

Petitioner cites a South African ruling which allowed a Hindu girl to wear nose ring in school as cultural practice.

Bench : How is this relevant to present issue? We follow our own Constitution.

#HijabBan #KarnatakaHC

Petitioner : Expelling student for not wearing uniform disproportionate.
Bench : You're not expelled.
Petitioner : I'm denied entry. Same effect as expulsion.
Bench : If someone expelled from train for not having ticket, can it be termed disproportionate?

#OnlineGaming #KarnatakaHighCourt

#KarnatakaHC: About 120 pages. We have discussed the various arguments.

We have come to this conclusion- the writ petitions succeed, the provisions are ultra vires of the Constitution and struck down.

#OnlineGaming

#KarnatakaHC: We have no struck down the entire act.

However, the consequences of striking down the provisions shall follow. However, nothing in this judgement should be construed to prevent an apt legislation from being brought about concerning the subject
