K'taka: 'Article 25 does not cover right to wear hijab'
The government on Tuesday told the high court that there is no restriction on wearing hijab but it is subject to institutional curbs and discipline. Countering the petitioner from Udupi district, who challenged the ban on hijab on campuses, Advocate General Prabhuling Navadgi said the right to wear the headscarf falls under the category of 19(1)(A) and not Article 25 as has been argued by the petitioners.
