GURDIT SINGH AULAKH (DECEASED) THROUGH L.R.S vs THE STATE OF PUNJAB & OTHERS

The Supreme Court upheld the appointment of K to the Sikh Gurdwaras Tribunal despite the prior removal of A, stating that the vacancy created by A's removal needed to be filled for the Tribunal's functioning as per Section 12(1) of the Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1925. The Court clarified that the dissolution notification did not abolish the Tribunal but merely reconstituted it, affirming the Secretary, Home Department's authority to issue such a notification. Consequently, the appeal against the High Court's dismissal of A's petition was rejected, confirming K's appointment as valid.
