MEWA SINGH vs SHIROMANI GURDWARA PARBANDHAK COMMTT.

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellants from the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee was improper as it violated the service rules, specifically Rule 4, which mandates an inquiry before dismissal. The Court found that the High Court erred in directing the appellants to seek remedy under Section 142 of the Sikh Gurdwara Act, 1925, as it did not provide an alternative remedy in this case. The Court ruled that the appellants were entitled to challenge their dismissal directly in the High Court, thereby quashing the dismissal orders.
