Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the suit filed by the Committee of Management for Gurudwaras in Amritsar was barred by limitation under Section 25-A of the Sikh Gurudwaras Act, 1925, as it was initiated beyond one year from the relevant decision date. The Court clarified that the constitution date of the Committee was not the date of the notification under Section 17, but rather the earlier date of its establishment in 1930. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
