Sikh's to file suit against po

A Sikh organisation plans to challenge a ban on wearing a turban while on duty in a volunteer reserve police force in Ireland.

A Sikh man, who has not been named, had recently tried to join the Garda Reserve, a volunteer reserve section of Ireland's police force Garda Siochana, but was told he could not wear his turban while on duty.

The Irish Sikh Council said it is in touch with representatives of a New York Police Department (NYPD) Sikh officer who successfully overturned a similar ban in the New York police force.

President of the Sikh Council, Harpreet Singh, told Sunday Business Post that the council intended to take necessary steps in the matter.

Male Sikhs are required by religion to cover their hair at all times by a turban, an article of faith and an intrinsic aspect of their identity. Turbans are worn by Sikh police officers elsewhere in Britain, most notably the London Metropolitan Police.

In June, Sikhs in France filed a case before the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg challenging a French law that demands that turbans be taken off while being photographed for identity cards after Shingara Mann Singh, 52, a French national, was denied a replacement driver's licence in 2005 and again in 2006 because he refused to remove his turban.
