Supreme Court clears path for Gurmeet Singh's trial in 2015 sacrilege cases
New Delhi: The Supreme Court has lifted the stay imposed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on the trial of Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Singh in connection with three sacrilege cases from 2015.
A bench of Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan has also issued a notice to Singh, requiring a response within four weeks.
The Punjab government had appealed against the High Court's decision to halt proceedings in cases related to the desecration of the Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture of the Sikh faith.
