Kashmir Singh vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors.

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of the rule of perpetuity concerning members of the Sikh Judicial Commission under the Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1925. It held that the State of Punjab had the jurisdiction to remove members of the Commission and that the Union of India had the authority to amend laws related to intra-state bodies as per Section 72 of the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966. The Court upheld the validity of the notifications issued by the State of Punjab, thereby affirming the reconstitution of the Commission.
