S. Malkinder Singh and anr. Vs. Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committ ...

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Apr-22-2009

Reported in: AIR2009Delhi153; 159(2009)DLT291

Rekha Sharma, J.1. The management of the Sikh Gurudwaras was placed into the hands of the Sikh community after a long drawn struggle and after great many sacrifices. The Sikh Gurdwara Act of 1925 was hailed as a great victory. The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Act which followed the Act of 1925 equally appeared to be a salutary achievement since it placed the management of the Delhi Gurdwaras into the hands of local Sikh electorate. However, a strong segment of Sikh intelligentsia feels that 'what appeared to be an achievement has turned out to be a real curse for the community' [See - 'Towards Corporate Maturity of Sikh' - Jaswant Singh Neki, in The Sikh Review March, 2009].2. It has become almost a regular feature in Delhi Sikh Gurdwaras that the faction in power makes every effort to hold on to the office making a mockery of the provisions of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwaras Act. The present litigation is the outcome of the struggle of one faction to remain in office and of the other to dislodge.3. T...
