It is not in dispute that while deciding Devta Aadi Brahma2, respondent No.5’s right, title or interest as also recognition or confirmation of his alleged status as ‘Senior Gur Malega Devta Aadi Brahma’ have not been deliberated upon. The judgment rendered in Devta Aadi Brahma2 and respondent No.5’s impleadment as Mr. Jeet Singh, ‘Senior Gur Malega’ Devta Aadi Brahma would not be construed as any adjudication upon his such status in Devta Aadi Brahma2. His status as ‘Senior Gur’ finds mention in the impleadment order passed in Devta Aadi Brahma2 only on the basis of his such averment made in the application. With the above clarification, the review petition to stand disposed of. Jyotsna Rewal Dua October 10, 2025 Judge Mukesh
