    The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed the revision petition and set aside the lower court's order appointing Gian Parkash as legal representative of deceased Mahant Gopal Dass. The court held that when rival claims exist regarding who should represent a deceased Mahant, the court must conduct a proper inquiry under Order 22 Rule 5 CPC rather than deciding based on a will alone, since succession to religious offices depends on election by the Bhek, not heredity. The case was remitted for fresh determination following proper procedure. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
