New Delhi, 3/3: The Supreme Court on Friday turned down a plea by a group of hijab wearing students for immediate listing of their interim application for putting on headscarf during the examinations in Karnataka’s Pre-University Colleges beginning next week.
“Students have already lost one year, they will lose another year,” a counsel mentioned before a bench led by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud.
“You have come on the last date. We will take it up after vacations (Holi),” the bench told the counsel.
The counsel pleaded that the matter was mentioned in January and February but it has not come up for hearing.
