Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the elections for the Executive Board of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) held on 19.12.2005 were valid under The Delhi Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1971, specifically Sections 2(c), 3, 4, 5, and 16. The Court emphasized that the statutory provisions regarding the election process must be adhered to, and the High Court's decision to countermand the elections was set aside. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, affirming the legality of the elections and the authority of the DSGMC.
