“A citizen’s attire is their choice, and nobody can insist that it conform to society’s customs, especially when there is no law backing it,” the Kerala High Court has observed.

Justice P.V. Kunhikrishnan was considering a petition by the headmistress of Eeswara Vilasom High School, Kottarakara, Kollam, seeking to disqualify the school’s manager for allegedly denying her entry into the school for wearing a churidar instead of a sari. She also sought police protection for her remaining tenure at the school.
