JAMMU, May 8: All Jandial Sabha (Registered) is the only legal and duly elected body which is managing the holy Devasthan of Baba Sahej Nath Ji including temple and there is no provision under its constitution for any other management committee or body.
The Sabha which held an emergency meeting under the chairmanship of chief patron Justice (Retd) K K Gupta took a serious note of reported meeting of some self styled “Jai Baba Sahej Nath ji Temple, Gole Pulli, Talab Tillo” in which president and officer bearers were elected.
In a statement, the Sabha said that there is no provision in the constitution for separate management committee for the temple and those who have gathered to form this committee have not only worked against the provisions of the constitution of the Sabha but also against the interest of the Baradari.
The Sabha appealed all members of the Jandial Baradai not to associate with this illegal and unconstitutional temple committee, saying that these elements appear to have some ulterior motives.
The statement said that the president and general secretary of the Sabha are formally elected under the –provisions of Sabha’s constitution who have two years’ tenure. The last election was held on March 2014 in which Rajeev Jandial was elected president and Rakesh Jandial was appointed its general secretary. The president as per the constitution nominated office bearers and members of the working committee. Chief patron, deputy chief patron, chairman and patrons were also appointed.
The Sabha also warned appropriate action against those who are trying to bring bad name to the biradari.
Among others the meeting was attended by O P Gupta Dy chief patron, I C Jandial chairman, former member PSC K B Jandial, former IGP Ashok Gupta, Mohan Lal Gupta all patrons, Ramesh Jandial, senior vice president, Rakesh Jandial, general secretary and Dheeraj Jandial.
