At least 24 girl students from Kundapur, 14 from Byndoor and two from Udupi Government Girls Pre-University college have missed the exams in because they did not want to follow uniform dress code.
Chief Justice NV Ramana said, "Exams have nothing to do with the issue. Don't sensationalise." The court said that it will hear the case in due course.
Hundreds of pre-university II (PU II) students who had boycotted practical examinations in Karnataka over Hijab ban will not get another chance to appear in the exams.
