IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.17212 of 2010 Date of Decision : September 29, 2010. Bhai Satpal Singh .....Petitioner versus Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mrs.Vanita Sapra Kataria, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner was working as Assistant Ragi in the Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee-respondent No.2, His main grievance is that the impugned dismissal order dated 20.5.2010 (Annexure P-24) has been passed by respondent No.3 in violation of the principles of natural justice as there is no material/proof whatsoever to substantiate the allegations levelled against him. Since the contention raised on behalf of the petitioner would require scrutiny of the material/proof/evidence produced against the petitioner before the alleged Enquiry Committee, I am of the considered view that the petitioner needs to be provided a Forum, like an Appellate Authority, where he can raise the mixed questions of law and facts both. C.W.P.No .17212 of 2010 2 The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to prefer an appeal before the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (S.G.P.C.) who shall, in turn invoke its powers under Section 125 of the Sikh Gurdwara Act, 1925, and decide the petitioner's appeal after hearing him, by passing a speaking order, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 29, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
