BENGALURU: Karnataka high court on Saturday issued notices to the state govt and Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) on a PIL alleging that CET exam centres in Bidar, Shivamogga, and Dharwad districts forced candidates to remove their Janivara or Janeu ( sacred thread ).
Appearing for petitioner Akhila Karnataka Brahmana Mahasabha, senior advocate S Sriranga also informed a division bench of chief justice NV Anjaria and justice KV Aravind that the CET candidates were mistreated during the math exam on April 17.
He submitted that the students who refused to remove their sacred threads were barred from entering the examination halls room, seeking a re-examination for the affected candidates.

The petitioner also informed the court that after the filing of the PIL, an FIR was filed in the case.
