The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday dismissed various petitions challenging the ban on hijab in educational institutions and held that wearing hijab is not a necessary religious practice of Islam.

A bench of Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi, Justice Krishna S Dixit and Justice JM Khaji said no case was made out to set aside the February 5 government order.

Moreover, it added that the prescription of school uniforms is a reasonable restriction that students could not object to.
