Hijab Ban In Karnataka- Supreme Court Hearing- DAY-3- LIVE UPDATES

Pasha : Only Kirpan is mentioned in Constitution. Other Ks are not mentioned.

Justice Dhulia : There are judgments..of Justice Khehar I guess.

Justice Gupta : The comparision with Sikh may not be proper. The 5 Ks of Sikh has been held to be mandatory. There are judgments. Carrying of kirpan is recognized by Constitution. So don't compare practices.

Pasha : If a Sikh has to wear a turban, and he is told not to come to school if he wears turban, it is violative.

Pasha refers to Article 29(1) and says even as a cultural practice it is protected.

Pasha : Justice Gupta mentioned in morning wearing of turban is cultural. It is protected. Wearing of hijab, even if regarded as cultural, is protected.

Justice Gupta : Mr.Pasha, we are requesting you, you give a short note on whichever verses and authors you want to rely on for support

Pasha says High Court opined that whatever said in Quran cannot be mandatory and cited the example of triple talaq.

Pasha : Triple Talaq is not mentioned in Quran or even in Hadis. So this was an irrelevant comparsion.

Pasha : That way Abdulla Yusuf Ali (whose translation was relied on by the HC) was not even a Sunni.

Pasha says High Court questioned the translation placed by Muhammad Muhsin Khan, doubting his credentials.

"But the other side never disputed his credentials. This is something which found its way to the HC judgment on its own".

Pasha referring to Hadis : When the Prophet is quoted as saying veil is more important, and when the Quran says follow the prophet, nothing more is required to show it is essential.

Pasha : When a believing girl believes her veil is better than world is told no to education with the veil, she is forced to choose between education and the veil, and this is violation of Article 19.

J Dhulia : That argument has already been made.
