Chandigarh (December 18, 2007)
Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) on Tuesday said it would appeal in the Supreme Court against a high court ruling that Sikhs were not a minority community in seeking admission to Sikh institutions run by the committee in Punjab.
"We are consulting our lawyers and will go for appeal (against the Punjab and Haryana High court ruling) in the Supreme Court," SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar said.
He said it was not just students from Punjab, but all across India who come for admissions in the SGPC-run institutions.
A Division Bench of the Court on Monday declared as ultra vires of the Constitution the notification issued by the Punjab government declaring SGPC-run Sikh institutions as minority institutions.
"We are procuring the copy of the Court order to get full details," Avtar Singh Makkar said.
