Life Threat To Karnataka Chief Justice

Justice is in danger 

In information of a report, lawyer Umapati said he received a video message on WhatsApp that gave an ‘open threat of murder ‘to chief justice Ritu raj Awasthi who ordered a hijab ban on the southern state. 

Weeks after a violent protest in different parts of the state against the restriction, the hijab is not a religious practice, the Karnataka high court said as it backed a ban on hijab in the classroom.  

In a letter to the registrar, the lawyer said, “I received a WhatsApp video message at night around 9: 30 from my contacts.” The video is in the Tamil language and after listening, he was shocked that there was an open threat of murder to the hon’ble chief justice of Karnataka high court in the recent judgement of Hijab.  

The lawyer said the video is from Tamil Nadu (Madurai district) in an open public meeting where a person refers to the murder of 

The Hon’ble Judge, while walking in Jharkhand state, an auto-rickshaw intentionally ran over and killed a judge in Jharkhand in July last year, which was recorded on CCTV. The case was taken to the CBI last year.  

The person made a similar threat to the hon’ble chief justice of Karnataka. 

By indicating, people know where the chief justice goes for a walk. 

The Karnataka high court’s order on the hijab has been challenged by a student named Niba Naaz, who was among the five who had put a petition before the court.  

For us, each student, whether he is Hindu or Muslim, is a student. We will teach them in the same way as we teach others from our school. Different students have passed out, and now some of them are in IIT. They don’t remember their religion or name. We call them the x-students of our school.  

They have different grounds to impose a dress code on a student, and it is for unity that all students are the same for us. Everyone here is a student of the school.  

The regulation aims to create a safe place for students where they shouldn’t be divided based on caste, colour, and language.
