Sarup Singh v. State of Punjab S. J(. Das j. 1959 April I. 516 SUP HEME COUB,T REPORTS [1959] Supp. contention that non-Sikhs can in any way influence the Board. We do not agree that Sikh Sarpanches and N aya Pradhans are in the service of Government or that their inclusion as members of the Patiala, plus thirty .five elected Sikhs from the Pepsu area will be a minority as against 132 elected mem­ bers and twenty-five co-opted members of the Board. For the reasons given above, we hold that the petitioners have failed to make out a case of violation of their fundamental right.
