Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Gurbachan Singh said the Sikh high priests would stand by the Jathedar of Takht Damdama Sahib (Talwandi Sabo) against whom a court in Haryana has issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) in a case relating of allegedly hurting of religious sentiments.
The Akal Takht Jathedar in a statement and later talking to reporters said that Jathedar of Takht Damdama Sahib Balwant Singh Nandgarh would not appear in the court "as no serving Sikh priest has appeared in any court".
A court at Tohana in Fatehabad district of Haryana had recently issued NBW against the Jathedar of Nandgarh on the complaint of a follower of Sirsa based Dera Sacha Sauda alleging he hurt the religious sentiments by some comments made some time ago
