Dr. Gurbakhsh Singh (son of Parduman Singh, grandson of Gurmukh Singh and great-grandson of Giani Sant Singh Nirmala) was a resident of Amritsar. On October 12, 1920, when the caretakers of Akal Takht Sahib left Takht Sahib unattended, the Sikhs present there selected a Jatha of 25 Sikhs. Dr. Gurbakhsh Singh was one of these 25 Sikhs. A few days later, a Hukamnama, signed by Dr. Gurbakhsh Singh, was issued to the Sikh Panth to attend a Sarbat Khalsa gathering in front of Akal Takht Sahib, on November 15, 1920, to form Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (S.G.P.C.).
