According to the principal, the college management, development committee tried to explain to the hijab-clad students the interim order of the High Court but they did not listen and pressed for wearing of the hijab.
Hence, they were suspended from the college temporarily.
The Karnataka High Court has issued an interim order restraining students from wearing hijab or any other form of religious dress in schools and colleges that have prescribed uniforms.
