Petition seeking permission for hijab during PUC exam: Supreme Court agreed to enquiry

New Delhi: The Supreme Court today agreed to hear a petition filed by a group of students seeking permission to write the annual examinations in Pre-University Colleges in Karnataka with a head scarf (Hijab Row). A bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha said that the petition for listing would be examined.

Advocate Shadan Farasat, on behalf of the students, said that they had to appear for the annual examinations starting from March 9 in government colleges. She wanted permission to appear for exams with her ‘hijab’ on. He said the students have already lost one year and if no compensation is given, they will lose another year.

All these students have already shifted to private colleges. But they have to go to government colleges to appear for exams, he said.
