To retain the voting right of Sehajdhari Sikhs in the SGPC the Sehajdhari Sikh party has fought a long legal battle for the  last nine years and ultimately won the case when the full bench of the Punjab & Haryana High Court delivered a judgment in their favour quashing the notification of the Central Govt. The Judgment has created a serious situation in the Sikh circles as the present ruling faction Akali Dal Badal had a major setback and their 170 elected members of the SGPC had become virtually functionless as the entire election process was subject to the writ petition of the Sehajdharis. Though the SGPC has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of India but no relief has been granted to them as the Apex Court has denied any stay on the Judgment of the Punjab & Haryana High Court. On the other side the security provided to Dr.P.S.Ranu National President of the Sehajdhari Sikh Party by the Punjab Police was withdrawn on 2may 2012 without any notice. The Sehajdhari Sikh Party has already written to the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and the ADGP Security on 3rd may thereby bringing the matter into their notice but no action has been taken for which now they have written to the Prime Minister, Union Home Minister and the Union Law Minister that they have no faith in the State Govt. and adequate security be provided from any Central agency. This was a part of conspiracy and pressure tactic to withdraw the case from the Supreme Court says Dr.Ranu. It’s a vendetta politics as the Sehajdharis has supported Congress in the Vidhan Sabha elections after withdrawing its 21 candidates from the fray.  Dr.Ranu was the main petitioner in the case in the High Court and he was provided security from 2003 as he was under life elimination threats from various Hard core fanatic Sikh Organizations and banned radical groups of Sikh terrorists which were pressurizing him to withdraw the case. Many times the ruling Govt. has withdrawn his security and re-instated it and now again his security has been withdrawn without any notice in spite of the threats looming at large as the case is pending adjudication before the Supreme Court of India and the next date is 26 july.  SGPC, the religious body with 675 crores of annual budget with its 170 recently elected members is in a critical situation as the Apex Court has declared them functionless and only the Executive Committee of 15 members of the Old House have been allowed to carry out the day to day workings of the SGPC. All the decisions are being taken in anticipation for ratification from the General House , but whether they will be ratified, is a suspense. This situation of the SGPC is supposed to be created by the Sehajdhari Sikh Party as the elections held were subject to their writ petition of voting rights and now the writ petition has been decided in their favour. This is a main reason for which the threats are at large as the 170 Members  recently elected have been made to sit at home.
