Hindustan Times  

The Patna high court on Monday quashed its stay on the district judge’s order declaring null and void the election of office-bearers to the prabandhak committee of Takht Sri Harimandir Ji, Patna Saheb, on technical ground. A division bench of chief justice Rajendra Menon and justice Anil Kumar Upadhyay passed the order on Amarjeet Singh’s appeal challenging the November 21 verdict of the high court’s single bench. Reacting to the Patna high court’s order, Charanjit Singh said the stay on the district judge’s order had been vacated on technical ground.
