Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud recently addressed criticism surrounding delays in hearing politically sensitive cases before the Supreme Court such as the Hijab ban case and the Article 370 case.
The Supreme Court today said it will set up a three-judge bench to hear a plea of Muslim girl students to sit for examinations in Karnataka government schools while wearing hijab.
The appeal said the High Court in its impugned order "had vehemently failed to apply its mind and was unable to understand the gravity of the situation as well as the core aspect of the Essential Religious Practices enshrined under Article 25 of the Constitution of India".

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday said that the final verdict on the hijab row will be important as it would not be restricted to the state but would apply to the whole country.
Hijab ban: The AIMPLA general secretary Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani said that Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia s view on the hijab case was in line with the requirements of the Indian Constitution and personal freedom.
