										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following a request by Muslim organizations for a bandh on Thursday to oppose the Karnataka High Court&#8217;s decision sustaining the prohibition on wearing hijab in academic institutions, a few stores in Bengaluru were closed. In Udupi, however, there was a mixed reaction to the bandh. The opposing Congress resolved to adopt a neutral stance on Wednesday. Regarding the attitude of Congress Muslim leaders on the hijab matter, a Congress representative said, &#8220;We had a meeting with religious leaders and have agreed to support the legal struggle on the matter.&#8221;</p>
<p>Following the Holi holiday, the Supreme Court said it will reconsider hearing an appeal against the HC ruling. Chief Justice of India N V Ramana informed senior attorney Sanjay Hegde, who had requested an expedited listing. Starting Thursday, the Supreme Court will be off for three days for Holi and will reconvene on March 21.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The hijab is not an important religious practice, according to the Karnataka High Court, which today upheld the ban on hijab in schools, which was contested by a number of Muslim students in a nationwide protest that started last year at a school. Three justices refused to overturn the state government&#8217;s prohibition, saying, &#8220;We are of the considered conclusion that wearing of hijab by Muslim women does not form a component of important religious practice in the Islamic religion.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Karnataka government issued an order on February 5 banning apparel from schools and universities that &#8220;disturb equality, integrity, and public order.&#8221; From March 15 to 19, Mangalore also prohibited public meetings. In Udupi, where the uprisings began in December, schools and institutions are closed today.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Justice R.V. Raveendran has gone a long way between failing his first-year law test to now being chosen by the Supreme Court to supervise the committee investigating the Pegasus snooping accusations, and he remains as busy today as he was when he was an apex court judge.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A three-member technical team led by the former Supreme Court justice would conduct a &#8220;thorough investigation&#8221; into the situation. Experts in cyber security, digital forensics, networks, and hardware make up this committee.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Justice Raju Varadarajulu Raveendran began his legal career in March 1968 and was nominated to the Karnataka High Court as a permanent judge in February 1993. In July 2004, he was named Chief Justice of the Madhya Pradesh High Court.</p>
