Supreme Court Hijab Verdict Live Updates

On Thursday, the Supreme Court issued a divided decision on petitions 

that had challenged the Karnataka High Court's hijab ruling from March 15. 

The Udupi High Court had previously ruled against a group of petitions submitted by Muslim women 

attending Udupi's pre-university colleges in an effort to win the right to wear hijab while attending classes. 

Since there was "diversity of opinion," the Supreme Court ordered that the appeals be sent to India's Chief Justice 

so that a larger bench could be formed to hear them.

The appeals against the Karnataka High Court order were allowed by Justice Sudhanshu Dhuli
