Petitioners never had, and do not have, any difficulty to any such as religious or cultural practice or belief. More so, religious pendent, Bindi, Teeka, religious treads around wrist, rakhi and finger rings are allowed in the classroom and thus, imposing restrictions on selectively is per-se discriminatory, illegal and bad-in-law”, the petition further contends.
