Dixit and Justice Jaiunnesa Mohiyuddin Khaji heard the matter on a daily basis.The counsels appearing for the petitioners contended that restrictions on hijab to classrooms is a violation of fundamental and religious rights. There is no legal standing for the School Development Committee (SDC) or College Development Committee (CDMC), they said.They also argued that wearing of hijab is an integral part of Islam.
