The Court clarified that it has not expressed anything on the Constitution of Shiromani Akali Dal and hence the pending proceedings before the Election Commission should not be influenced by the top court's verdict.
The Badals and Cheema had moved the top court challenging the August 2021 order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court refusing to quash the summons against them by additional chief judicial magistrate, Hoshiarpur in a private complaint filed by Social activist Balwant Singh Khera on the charges of forgery, cheating and concealing facts.
