The judicial challenge, an attempt to force the school to readmit Sarika with her kara, is expected to last three days. Lawyers representing Sarika, will argue the school's actions contradict a previous ruling which enshrined the right for Sikh boys to wear turbans at school should they wish to. In the 1983 ruling, the House of Lords defined Sikhs as a race, not just a religious group, protected from discrimination under the Race Relations Act.
After Sikh teenager's case came up, the Welsh Assembly Government published new guidelines for school Governors, saying they should take account of religious views and consider whether uniform policy interfered with the right to manifest a religion or belief.
