SC to hear plea of students against Bombay HC verdict upholding ban on hijab, burqa in college

The Supreme Court has ordered the listing of a plea challenging the Bombay High Court's decision to uphold a Mumbai college's ban on wearing hijab, burqa, and naqab inside the campus. The court had refused to interfere with the decision, stating that such rules do not violate students' fundamental rights. The court has already assigned a bench for the matter and will list it soon. The appeal is expected to commence on Wednesday.
