Abstract
Beginning from December 31, 2021, when the Government Girls PU College, Udupi imposed an arbitrary restriction on girls wearing the hijab to college leading right up to the split verdict by the Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the hijab ban on October 13, 2022, Karnataka witnessed increasing restrictions on the right to wear the hijab and consequently on the right to education, dignity and expression of Muslim girl students.
