A panel of judges including the Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court Ritu Raj Awasthi, Justice Krishna S Dixit and Justice J M Khazi will look into the Hijab issue on Thursday.
After Justice Dixit referred the case for Chief Justice Awasthi’s consideration with a view that he may decide on constituting a larger bench to look into it, the panel was formed, which will hear the case on Thursday.
The state cabinet, which met earlier before the HC order came in, decided to await the verdict before taking any decision on the issue which has snowballed into a major row.
Calm prevailed today in the educational institutions which witnessed tense moments over the Hijab row earlier, as the state government had on Tuesday ordered closure of all high schools and colleges in the state for three days. Most of them returned to the online mode of teaching, sources said. Primary schools functioned as usual across the state without any interruption.
