While arguing Kabil Sibbal said that the exams were approaching in 2 months and the girls were not allowed to attend the school. They had to suffer stone-pelting. This issue was like that religious issue, where the division Bench comprised of 9 judges held the hearing of the issue related to the ban on the entry of women in the age group 10 – 55 in the Sabarimala temple. Currently, the Division Bench of 3 judges is conducting the hearing of the hijab issue.
