HARBHAJAN SINGH vs STATE OF HARYANA

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara (Management) Act, 2014, which established a separate juristic entity for managing historical Gurdwaras in Haryana. The court found that the Act aimed to ensure proper administration and financial management of Gurdwaras, aligning with the religious views of the Sikh community. Ultimately, the court upheld the Act, affirming the state's authority to legislate on matters concerning the management of religious institutions under the Constitution.
