Hijab should be kept outside educational institutions, K'taka govt argues in HC
The Karnataka government on Monday told the High Court that the hijab was not an important religious practice and must be stored outside the educational institution, the PTI news agency reported. The trial will continue tomorrow at 2:30 a.m.
According to the Live Law Online Website, Advocate General Prabhuling Navadgi temporarily emerged for the Bomavaraj Bommai government, arguing in court, “there are three tests to determine whether a practice is an important religious practice. Is this a fundamental practice for that religion? If the practice is not Followed, does religion no longer exist?
The Karnataka High Court Bench, which consisted of chairman of the Ruit Judge Raj Awasthi, along with Judge Krishna Dixit and JM Khazi asked General Advocates whether the hijab could be permitted in the institution or not.
For this, Advocate General Prabhuling Navadgi answered, “The operative part of the government’s order left it to the institution to make a decision in this matter.”
“The government’s order gives full autonomy to the institution to decide uniform. The opening of the Karnataka Education Law is to foster secular environments,” argue.
Karnataka government advice also argues that the Stand of State is that the element of introducing religious aspects should not be uniform.
During hearing, the Advocate General begged the statement from Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar where he had called for religious instructions to be stored outside the educational institution, Live Lead Law Web reported.
