The issue contested was that the respondent’s (muslim) exclusion from school, due to repeated violations of the uniform code, unjustifiably limited, inter alia, her right under Article 9 of the Convention to manifest her religion and beliefs.
The claimants contend this ban (total ban on the use of corporal punishment in all schools) is incompatible with their Convention rights.
The constitutional validity of the Himachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act, 2006 was challenged.
