Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said that 'Y'-category security would be given to the High Court chief justice and two judges who upheld the government order banning the wearing of hijabs in the classrooms. 
Speaking to media persons here on Sunday, Mr. Bommai said that, following the judges who delivered the verdict on hijab got threats from a speaker in Tamil Nadu during an open public meeting.

Along with Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi, justice Krishna S Dixit and Justice J.M. Khaji gets Y category security cover. 
The CM said that this incident happened some three days ago and asked why these pseudo-liberals remained silent. Why are they not speaking? The judges have received an open threat. Being in favor of community is not secularism. Appeasing that community to this level is nothing but communalism, said Bommai.
He said anti-national forces who pose a challenge to the nation's system of law and order cannot be tolerated. Death threats against three Judges of the Karnataka High Court, including the Chief Justice, have been received from Tamil Nadu. A case has been registered in this regard. Everyone should accept the Court's verdict. There are provisions for filing review petitions if the petitioners are not satisfied with the judgement. Despite the provisions the disruptive forces are inciting the people to rise against the system, Bommai said.

A case has been registered in Tamil Nadu. The Bar Council of Karnataka High Court too has filed a case at Vidhana Soudha police station. This case has been taken up very seriously. I have instructed the State Director General of Police to start the investigation immediately. Orders have been issued to get their custody to bring them to the State and take stringent legal action against the accused.
According to a news report, in a video of a public meeting, a speaker in a veiled threat referred to the murder of a judge in Jharkhand. The judge was mowed down by a speeding vehicle. And he claimed that they knew where the Karnataka Chief Justice goes for a walk, the news report stated.
Sources said that an office-bearer of the Tamil Nadu Towheed Jamaat has been arrested in connection with the threat to the judges.

Bengaluru Police have registered a case against three unknown persons who have given the threat to Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi for delivering a verdict on the hijab matter. Last week three-judge bench of the Karnataka High Court has dismissed the batch of petitions challenging the government order banning the hijabs or headscarves in the classrooms. Court has upheld the order of the state government making uniforms compulsory in the schools and colleges. 

Court order on Hijab: The bench has observed that the wearing of hijab will not come under the essential religious rights guaranteed in the Constitution. Court has also stated that government has the power to prescribe uniforms in the schools and colleges in the state.

While framing four questions made out during the course of arguments, the bench has to answered each questions and uphold the government order dated February 5, banning the wearing of hijabs in government schools and colleges. Government can impose reasonable restrictions on essential faith by prescribing uniform rules in the schools and colleges, the bench observed. 

There is no case made out by the petitioners regarding government order is unconstitutional and against the principles of natural justice. The government has the power to frame rules under the Karnataka Education Act, the three-judge bench pointed out. 

The bench has upheld the government order effectively banning the wearing of the hijab (headscarves) by Muslim girl students in educational institutions in the State.

Judgement: Hijab is not a part of the essential religious practices of Islam. Requirement of uniform is a reasonable restriction on the fundamental right to freedom of expression under Article 19(1)(a), court mentioned in the judgement. The government has the power to pass the government order and no case is made out for its invalidation, court stated. 

The bench has rejected the petitioners' plea to initiate enquiry against the college management authorities and government officials who restrain the students to enter the classrooms wearing hijabs.

We've decided to give 'Y' category security to all three judges who gave the Hijab verdict. I have instructed DG and IG to probe the complaint filed in Vidhanasoudha PS thoroughly in which some people gave life threats to the judges: Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai in Bengaluru pic.twitter.com/cQxFyfcfOL
