It is worth mentioning that the Karnataka High Court had completed the hearing on all the petitions related to the Hijab row on the 25th of February last month. After the hearing, the court had reserved its decision which the court is going to hear today. During the hearing, the Karnataka High Court had heard the arguments of all the parties in detail. After the final arguments of the lawyers, the court had decided its decision.
Let us tell you that the Hijab row started in the campus of a government college in Udupi, Karnataka in the month of January, when girls wearing hijab were stopped from entering the classroom. Since then, the hijab controversy has caught on in the schools and colleges of the state. The controversy escalated so much that the hijab case reached the Supreme Court.
