The Patna High Court ordered the Bihar State Election Commission to submit the final voter list for the pending 2023 Patna Sahib Gurudwara management committee election by November 24.
The Patna High Court has taken a firm stance on the long‑delayed election of the Patna Sahib Gurudwara management committee, which has been pending since 2023. In its recent order, the court directed the Bihar State Election Commission to finalize and hand over the voter list for the election.
The court set a strict deadline of November 24 for the commission to submit the complete list, signalling that any further delay will not be tolerated. The directive aims to ensure that the electoral process for the Gurudwara’s governing body proceeds without additional postponements.
Legal observers note that the High Court’s intervention underscores the importance of timely elections in religious institutions, especially those with significant community influence. The commission is now tasked with compiling the eligible voter roll in accordance with the court’s timeline.
Stakeholders, including members of the Gurudwara community, are expected to await the finalized list before the election can be scheduled, marking a critical step toward resolving the prolonged vacancy in the committee’s leadership.
