“Yes, We’ll Set a Date and Hear It.”: CJI to Hear Plea Challenging HC Order on Hijab Ban in Mumbai College

A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging NG Acharya and DK Marathe College’s ban on religious attire. The college enforced a dress code prohibiting burqas, hijabs, and niqabs, prompting nine students to contest the notice. The plea argues that the college lacks the authority to impose such restrictions, violating the students’ rights and contradicting inclusivity objectives.
