On a petition linked to the hijab row raging in Karnataka, the Supreme Court today rejected an urgent hearing and said, “We will interfere only at an appropriate time.”
A girl in Karnataka had approached the Supreme Court after the High Court yesterday advised students to avoid wearing “religious garments” until it decides on a case involving hijab restrictions in schools and colleges.

“Don’t spread these things to a national level. We will interfere only at an appropriate time,” Chief Justice NV Ramana said, declining an urgent hearing on the petition.

When a lawyer pressed the court to take it up, arguing that the case had “far-reaching implications” and that students had been wearing the hijab or headscarf for ten years, the Supreme Court remained firm.
