Chandigarh, July 12 –

Haryana Cabinet met under the Chairmanship of the Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh, accorded approval for the amendment in Haryana Sikh Gurdwaras (Management) Act, 2014.

This amendment aims to enhance the qualifications for the Chairman of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Judicial Commission to ensure more effective and authoritative supervision of Sikh Gurdwaras and Gurdwara properties within the state.

As per the amendment, now a Judge of the Hon’ble High Court can also be appointed as the chairman of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Judicial Commission. Earlier, there was a provision to appoint only the District and Sessions Judge to the post of chairman. Apart from this, the maximum age limit of 65 years set for the chairman appointment in the current provision has also been abolished.
