After the incident, the Department of Justice witnessed a Civil Rights Complaint filed by the United Sikhs legal team. "After persistent advocacy, positive results have been achieved," said a team member.

Further, he said, "We are humbled to announce another civil rights policy advocacy victory resulting in the modification of court procedures in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, to recognize the Sikh religious practices"

Singh also told that this support has led to a new policy for giving space to one’s religious attire and headwear in Kalamazoo County Probate Court in Michigan.

The apology letter, non discrimination policy of scared outfits of a person including their headwear and the new complaint stood as all the positive steps in order to bring the right changes for this issue. "The new policy and complaint form will benefit not only Sikhs, but also Jews, Muslims and people of other faiths who wear some sort of head covering or religious attire" said Singh.
