Hijab Ban- Karnataka High Court Single Bench refers the HIJAB matter to a larger bench. LIVE UPDATES

BREAKING : Single Bench of Justice Krishna Dixit refers the hijab matter to larger bench.

Justice Dixit starts dictating the order : All these matter do give rise to certain constitutional questions of seminal importance in the light of some aspect of personal law.

One lawyer requests that the commotion not be reported by the media.

Justice Dixit to another intervenor who was making high pitched submissions : This is not an election rally.

Who do you appear for? I will permit you to shout if you have a vakalatnama. See the Advocates Act. You need to be authorised by the litigants to make submissions.

Justice Dixit to one intervenor : This is not a PIL.

Many advocates trying to intervene to make submissions. Justice Dixit requests not to repeat submissions.

Court hall is packed to the limit.

Hegde : This is not a question of uniform. These students are wearing uniforms. 

Hegde : Rule does not even prescribe even a penalty for not wearing a uniform. Children are wearing the uniform and today Mr Poovayya's clients should not keep me out from the college.

Hegde : A teenage girl should not be forced to settle with her conscience for the sake of her education. Let them have the darshan of their teachers.

AG : Decision of the CDC is also appealable.
