The very same contentions were considered in W.P.(C) No.21696/2015 and another, in which it was held in paragraph 5 thus:
"...., there shall be a direction that at the two centres indicated in the writ petitions, the Invigilator along with a woman Invigilator or another authorised officer shall be present half an hour before the examination commences.
The petitioners who intend to wear a dress according to their religious custom, but contrary to the dress code, shall present themselves before the Invigilator half an hour before the examination and on any suspicion expressed by the Invigilator, shall also subject themselves to any acceptable mode of personal examination as decided by the Invigilator, but however carried on only by an
WPC.No.22451/2015 : 2 :
authorised person of the same sex. If the Invigilator requires the head scarf or the full sleeve garments to be removed and examined, then the petitioners shall also subject themselves to that, by the authorised person. It is also desirable that the C.B.S.E issue general instructions to its Invigilators to ensure that religious sentiments be not hurt and at the same time discipline be not compromised."
The very same direction shall apply in the aforesaid writ petitions also. Writ petitions would stand disposed of Sd/- (K. VINOD CHANDRAN, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
