Bengaluru : Karnataka High Court reserved its judgment in the hijab case after 11 days of back-to-back hearing on Friday. The hearing for the hijab case resumed at 2:30 pm in the Karnataka High Court.
The Karnataka High Court on Thursday asked the counsels in the Hijab case to wind up their arguments by Friday as it indicated that it would deliver the order shortly.
The Chief Justice of the High Court Ritu Raj Awasthi, who is part of the three-judge bench, told the counsels that that the arguments should be finished by Friday. He also asked the parties to give their written submissions within two to three days.
PU College, which is the epicentre of the Karnataka hijab row, on Monday told the Karnataka High Court that the Campus Front of India (CFI) was a radical organisation that was spearheading the row.
Counsel for the PU College, senior advocate SS Naganand, said that the uniform was made compulsory by the college in 2004 and there had been no issue until the CFI met some students who wanted to wear hijab to college.
The state government on Thursday informed the high court that a first information report has been registered against the members of the CFI, who had allegedly threatened some teachers in the Government Pre-University Girls College in Udupi district.
As soon as the proceedings began, state Advocate General Prabhuling Navadgi told the full bench of the High Court that an FIR has been registered. He also said he has furnished details relating to the CFI in a sealed cover to the bench.
