Punjab and Haryana High Court Rules in Favor of HSGMC Over Miri Piri Medical Institute Control

The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed a petition by the Miri Piri Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (MPIMSR) Charitable Trust, led by the SGPC, challenging the Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee's (HSGMC) authority over the institute. The court ruled that the Trust's assets and management fall under the SGPC, which created the Trust, but acknowledged HSGMC's jurisdiction under the Haryana Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 2014. The ruling transfers administrative control of the MPIMSR to HSGMC, prompting SGPC to consider legal options.
