Supreme Court is hearing petitions challenging Karnataka HC order banning Hijab in educational institutes

“Ambedkar’s statement, although he was a pillar, is a deeply offensive statement. It is not a statement that should be repeated in India, great though he may have been. (It was a) totally biased statement,” senior advocate Gonsalves, representing some of the Muslim girls, said to SC.

The PFI issued a statement hailing apex court’s decision on granting bail to Siddique Kappan.

DMK submitted in SC that including upper castes in the scope of the 10% reservation for EWS would make a mockery of reservation.

Siddique Kappan, associated with PFI, was arrested by the UP Police on October 5, 2020, while he was proceeding to cover the Hathras case where a 19-year-old Dalit woman had died after a strangulation attempt.

The places of worship act is challenged by various lawyers in the Supreme Court. The court will hear all the petitions and interventions together.

Supreme Court refused to hear a petition filed by Advocate Abu Sohel seeking directions for arrest of Nupur Sharma

Advocate Nizamuddin Pasha argued that Hijab is mandatory in Islam and cited Quranic verses in the Supreme Court

"If the right to dress is claimed as an absolute fundamental right under Article 19 of the Constitution, then right to undress would also qualify as one", the Court remarked on Devdatt Kamat's argument.

The state of Uttar Pradesh has filed a Statement of Objections, sworn to by the Deputy SP, STF Unit Agra, Uttar Pradesh, the Investigating Officer in the Hathras conspiracy case, opposing the bail plea of UAPA accused Siddique Kappan.
