After the signing of the petition, the issue went to the high court which gave a verdict of banning the hijab in educational institutions. This news again got the attention of many on social media.
In between this, a video of CJI Karnataka goes out viral claiming it to be of the High Court where the two judges stripped the lawyers defending petitioners in hijab controversy.
The video got viral under a caption like, “The court stripping the lawyer who was defending the petitioners on Hijab people must know how serious is this issue and how foolish the lawyer to bring this up to CJI Karnataka.”
