Watkins-Singh v Aberdare Girls' High School, decided by the High Court of Justice in 2008, is a primary legal judgment. Its strength is that it is the actual court decision holding that excluding a pupil for wearing a kara amounted to unlawful indirect discrimination on grounds of race and religion. Its limit is that, like any single court ruling, it settles the specific case before it under English law and does not itself describe wider Sikh practice or belief.
