HH Sant Baba Jeet Singh Ji Maharaj v Eastern Media Group & Anor

Held

After close scrutiny of the pleaded meanings, the Defence and the Reply, Eady J found that there were key issues such as whether C was or was not fairly described as an "impostor" that could not be isolated and resolved without reference to Sikh doctrines and traditions.

The judge adopted the words of Gray J. in the case of Blake v Associated Newspapers, concluding that the present issues "... cannot be adapted so as to circumvent the insuperable obstacle placed in the way of a fair trial of this action by the fact that the court must abstain from determining questions which lie at the heart of the case"

Accordingly the claim was stayed.
