Owaisi said the ruling could not have been passed while the Supreme Court is considering the question of what constitutes an essential religious practice in the Sabarimala case, and argued that it infringes upon constitutional protections under Articles 25 and 19. The Allahabad High Court, however, held that the student failed to establish through religious texts that wearing a scarf was an essential religious practice. The court said schools have the authority to prescribe a uniform, provided it is applied uniformly, in good faith and without discrimination. The student had claimed she had worn a scarf since Class 6 but was denied admission to Class 11 after the school objected to it.VIDEO | Hyderabad, Telangana: Allahabad HC's dismissal of student's plea seeking permission to wear hijab is wrong, it is an attack on Islam, says AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi.#asaduddinowaisi #hijab(Full video available on PTI Videos - https://t.co/d8jp61yd2p) pic.twitter.com/XDlgQawt5N— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) August 26, 2026https://platform.x.com/widgets.jsAug 26, 2026 08:00 AM ISTTelangana CM directs officials to ensure treatment for Suryapet crash victimsTelangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy wrote on X about the road accident in Suryapet district in which a private bus collided with a container near Dwarakunta in Kodad mandal.
