Karnataka Hijab ban: Supreme Court delivers split judgment; matter to be heard by larger bench.

The Supreme Court on Thursday delivered a split verdict in the challenge to the Karnataka government order (GO) effectively empowering government colleges in the State to ban the wearing of hijab by Muslim girl students in college campus [Aishat Shifa vs State of Karnataka].

Justice Hemant Gupta who headed the bench upheld the government decision while Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia struck it down.

"There is divergence of opinion. I have held against the appellant. I dismiss the appeal," he said.

Justice Dhulia, however, allowed the appeal and quashed the Karnataka government order.

Consequently, the matter will now be heard by a larger bench of the top court.
