The subject matter of appeal is the dismissal of a petition filed under Section 142 of the SGPC Act. The contention was that the respondents had been in mismanagement of the Gurdwara and the properties and they should be removed. The Judicial Commission has dismissed the petition on several grounds including that there was a mandate to serve a notice under Section 143 for any complaint instituted under Section 142 on the Executive Committee of the Board or a committee, setting out two months time for the cause of action containing the name, description and place of residence. The Judicial Commission has observed that notice as statutorily mandated was not served. The Judicial Commissioner has also held the petition was bad for non-joinder of the locally elected committee and the board.
