Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the management dispute of Gurudwara Sant Bela Sahib, emphasizing the validity of the General Power of Attorney executed by Sant Surjan Singh. The Court held that the power of attorney ceased to have effect upon the death of Sant Surjan Singh, affirming the lower court's decision that Sant Hari Singh, as Mohtmim, had rightful possession and management of the Gurudwara. The appeals by the Managing Committee were dismissed, upholding the permanent injunction against them.
