The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld the validity of the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara (Management) Act 2014, declaring that the law has left "the affairs of the Sikh minority in the State to be managed by the Sikhs alone".
A Bench led by Justice Hemant Gupta declared that the State, by enacting the law, did not violate the religious freedom of the Sikh community protected under Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution.
