HC refuses to interfere in hijab ban decision of Mumbai college

The Bombay High Court upheld a city-based college's ban on hijab, burka, and naqab, dismissing a petition by nine students who argued it violated their fundamental rights. The court refused to interfere with the college's disciplinary dress code, which applies to all students. The college maintained that the ban was not against the Muslim community but was a uniform dress policy. The students, citing their right to practice religion and privacy, had sought intervention from university authorities before approaching the court.
