Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the termination of the appellant from service by the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabhandhak Committee (SGPC) was justified despite the earlier inquiry report recommending reinstatement. The Court emphasized that the appellant's resignation, which was accepted by the SGPC, was valid and not obtained under coercion, as he had voluntarily resigned. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition, affirming that the SGPC acted within its rights in relieving the appellant from service based on the circumstances surrounding his resignation and subsequent conduct.
