Section 2(f) Sikh Gurdwara Act | SGPC-Created Trust with Reverting Assets Qualifies as 'Gurdwara Property' Under State Oversight : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that a charitable trust established by SGPC, funded by it, and whose assets revert to Sri Harmandir Sahib, falls under the definition of 'Gurdwara property' under Section 2(f) of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 2014. This subjects the trust to state regulatory control, impacting SGPC’s autonomy over such trusts and their assets.
