Aggrieved, the students filed the present petition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioners argued that the college, affiliated to Mumbai University and aided by the State, had no power and authority under any law to issue directions giving out such restrictions. Further, the restriction is violative of Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574882\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution<\/a> as it creates a hostile environment for female students, particularly from the Muslim faith.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Court&#8217;s Order:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court questioned the rationale behind the decision and orally said that the students should be allowed to wear what they want to. This decision of the college would work against empowering women.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On the college&#8217;s argument that it does not want the religion of students to be revealed, the Court orally said that &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Religion is there in the names also. Do not impose such rules<\/span>&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court while party staying the impugned circular of the College, issued notice to the NG Acharya &amp; DK Marathe College returnable in the week commencing 18-11-2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court said that it hopes and trusts that the said interim order will not be misused by anybody and clarified that it will be open to the College to move an application for vacation of this order, in case of misuse.<\/p>\n<p><!--\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold;
