Karnataka HC reacts to students being stopped at gates to remove Hijab by policemen
Misinterpretation of interim order of HC raised by Advocate Mohammed Tahir during hearing
Bengaluru: Karnataka High Court on Friday while hearing the Hijab issue reacted to an argument from Advocate Mohammed Tahir that the interim order passed by the Court was being misinterpreted and that even teachers were not being allowed to wear Hijab.
Advocate Mohammed Tahir said the interim order was passed considering the Law and Order situation and was limited to colleges where the College Development Committee has prescribed uniforms. He added that even the teachers were not spared and the Muslim community members were facing difficulty.
“Every department is interpreting the order differently. Yesterday Minority Department passed an order. Even in Urdu colleges, it is enforced. Policemen are deployed at gates and are threatening Muslim girls. The order said classroom. But at gates students are stopped,” Tahir said.
Reacting to this, the Chief Justice of Karnataka HC who is chairing the Bench hearing the case said “Our order was very clear.”
The CJ further asked the Attorney General for his views on the matter. The AG replied “I could say file an application. All I request is that give me the detail instead of the court. I assure that I will instruct that nobody will be permitted to act beyond the order of the Court.”

Tahir then called for a report to be called from the state in the matter adding that even the ministers in the state are saying it is a high court order.
Replying to Tahir’s request for a report to be called from the state, CJ said “For what purpose. You file an application, we will consider it. AG is saying give your complaint in writing, he will instruct everyone to act in accordance with the order of the court.”

Bengaluru: Woman dies after being hit by luxury car driven by 'drunk' youth
Bengaluru (PTI): A 30-year-old woman died after she was hit by a luxury car being driven by a youth, who was allegedly under the influence of alcohol, police said on Tuesday.
Dhanush (20) was arrested, they said, adding that he has been sent to judicial custody.
According to police, Sandhya A S was crossing the road near the Kengeri TTMC (Traffic and Transit Management Centre) on the busy Mysuru Road on Saturday when she was hit by the Mercedes Benz car which then crashed into a bike.
After the accident, the accused tried to flee from the spot but was caught by bystanders who allegedly thrashed him.
The injured woman and the biker identified as Syed Arbaz (23), were immediately rushed to a hospital where Sandhya was declared brought dead on arrival. Arbaz was treated for minor inuries, a senior traffic police official said.
"An alcometer test of the accused driver showed that he had 177 mg/100 ml of blood alcohol content, which was way higher than the legally permissible limit of 30 mg/100 ml," he said, citing preliminary inquiry.
Dhanush's father owns a private bus travels company.
"We have registered a case under sections 281 (rash driving or riding on a public road), 125 A (Act endangering life or personal safety of others) and 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita against the accused car driver at Kengeri traffic police station and arrested him," a traffic official said.
