Supreme Court lifted the stay, issued notice
Actually yesterday the Supreme Court had lifted the stay of the High Court, giving a setback to Baba Ram Rahim in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib desecration case in Bargari, Faridkot. Along with this, a notice was also issued to Ram Rahim and a reply was sought within a month.
The High Court had imposed a stay
In March 2023, the Punjab and Haryana High Court had stayed the investigation of 3 cases in this matter. However, the Punjab government challenged this order in the Supreme Court, after which the Supreme Court gave its verdict today. With this decision, the hearing process of the case against Ram Rahim will be able to start again, which may increase his troubles.
Religious sentiments and need for justice
The Punjab government argued in the Supreme Court that justice is necessary in this sensitive case, as it is related to religious sentiments. The government said that the High Court's stay on the investigation is hampering the hearing of the case, which is delaying the judicial process. The Supreme Court accepted the government's arguments and lifted the High Court's stay.
