Amid the raging row over the hijab issue in Karnataka, the state government has told the High Court that its order dated February 5 did not ban the headscarf but only delegated the powers to decide the school uniform to the College Development Committees (CDC).
The advocate general also argued that a ban on hijab does not violate the freedom to practice and profess a religion under Article 25 of the Constitution.
