Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab & Haryana High Court's decision that the institution known as 'Gurdwara Sahib Gurdwara Bhagat Bhagwan' is not a Sikh Gurdwara under the Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1925, specifically referencing Section 34. The Court found that the institution was actually an 'Udasi Faqir institution' and not a Sikh Gurdwara, thus affirming the High Court's ruling which overturned the Sikh Gurdwaras Tribunal's earlier declaration. The appeal by the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee was dismissed, confirming the High Court's judgment.
