A bunch of students (aged between 19 and 21) from Govandi area of Mumbai have approached the Bombay High Court against their college, seeking rejection of a notice banning the use of naqab or burqa in classrooms. The plea, filed through advocate Altaf Khan, takes exception to a message circulated by Assistant Professor Pravin Bendle on May 1, 2024, which mentions a 'dress code'. The message stated that girls are allowed to wear only Indian or Western dress, but non-revealing full formal dress. However, burka, nakab, hijab, badge, cap, stole were directed to be removed and restricted in college.
