A Mumbai college told the Bombay High Court on Wednesday that the prohibition on hijab, niqab, and burka on its campus was intended to establish a uniform dress code and not to target the Muslim community.
According to a PTI report, nine female students from Chembur Trombay Education Society`s NG Acharya and DK Maratha College filed a complaint with the High Court last week over a clothing rule that prohibited hijab, niqab, burka, stokes, hats, and any type of emblem. According to reports, the petitioners, who are second and third-year degree students, said in their plea that the rule violated their fundamental right to practise religion, privacy, and freedom of choice.
