Hijab Ban- Karnataka High Court Full Bench Hearing(Day 4)- LIVE UPDATES

Bench rises. Hearing to continue tomorrow at 2.30 PM.

Sr Adv Adish Agarwala mentions one intervention application opposing the petitions.

CJ says no interventions are being permitted.

Advocate General seeks 2 days time to file objections to the IA seeking clarification.

Bench grants.

Kumar : Seeking a clarification..just to use the same duppata to cover their head. Let the students get back to the class.

Sr Advocate Professor Ravivarma Kumar: A proper application is made seeking clarification of the interim order. Yesterday due to some technical reason it was not considered.

CJ: We are left with WP no 3148. That is a PIL. Also 3422 that is also a PIL. Only two writ petitions left to be heard.

CJ : We do not know whether you are making arguments for interim or final stage. We have not disposed of any interim applications. Let that be clear. We have passed only interim order.

Muchhala concludes arguments.

Muchhala: I believe these arguments are at the interim stage and not final stage. There is some confusion in my mind. Please forgive me for asking this.

CJ : You people have started arguing and we have started hearing.

Muchhala: What is the constitutional right that is infringed, Article 25, my right to conscience and my right to have an education. Thus the action is totally disproportionate.

Mucchala on the second test of proportionality regarding less restrictive measures : Assuming they want a universal uniform, why not consult persons whose rights are affected?
