Jasjit Singh Jaggi, 36, told the New York Daily News he wants to rejoin the NYPD, "the most prestigious job a man like me could ask for."

In a landmark opinion, Judge Donna Merris recommended Jaggi be reinstated and allowed to wear a turban on duty. The city, however, plans to appeal. Police departments in England and Toronto allow the Sikh turban with uniforms, but there are none with such an accommodation in the United States.
