The Karnataka High Court has referred to a larger bench, the writ petition filed by a Muslim girl student challenging the action of a government college in denying her entry for wearing a hijab (headscarf).

Justice Krishna S. Dixit noted that matter gives rise to certain constitutional questions of seminal importance qua personal law, which must be decided by a larger Bench. It directed the Registry to place the papers before the Chief Justice for consideration immediately, considering the urgency pleaded in the petitions.
