After the landmark judgment by the special bench of the Karnataka High Court, which dismissed the petitions seeking permission to wear hijab in classrooms, the counsels appearing for students said they will soon decide on approaching the Supreme Court.

The high court's special bench upheld the government order on the uniform. "We welcome the judgment by the High Court. We will obtain the copy of the order and see whether we can approach the SC on this matter," advocate Shatabish Shivanna, who appeared for the petitioners, said.
