A large bench comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi, Justice Krishna S Dixit and Justice JM Khasi will hear the case tomorrow.

The court was hearing an application today seeking further clarification on the interim order. The Advocate General said he would reply within two days. Most of the students come to the educational institutions wearing religious symbols. Lawyers for the students asked the court why only Muslim students should not wear the hijab. Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online.
The fourth day begins with each lawyer giving them time to present their case. The court is scheduled to hear writ petitions related to the hijab issue tomorrow. There is a need before the court to clarify in the interim order whether the shawls with uniforms in the existing educational institutions can be used as headscarves.
There have been large-scale student protests across the state against the ban on the hijab. The decision to reopen the college came as there were no major protests against the backdrop of schools opening earlier. But things were different today when colleges opened. There were protests in various areas today. At PU College, Udupi, students wearing hijabs were stopped by teachers. But the students were not ready to change the hijab. The students were eventually expelled from the college. A similar situation prevailed in Chikmagalur and Shivamogga. The police arrived and sent the students back.
