The BBC's Barnie Choudhury: Case will centre on definition of jewellery

Inderjit Kaur says the South Wigston food company, RF Brookes, racially discriminated against her because it allowed other workers to wear weddings rings.

Mrs Kaur has worked for the company for seven years. When she was taken on, she told her employers she would have to wear her steel bangle, called a kara, for religious reasons.

She alleges that in March this year the workforce was informed that under strict hygiene rules it could not wear jewellery except for wedding rings.

Mrs Kaur refused to take off her kara and said she was moved to another part of the production line as a result.

Although she is claiming racial discrimination, the case will centre on the definition of jewellery.

She argues that if a wedding ring is not jewellery then neither is her kara, which is viewed by Sikhs as one of the five main symbols of their faith.
