Bombay HC Affirms Co-Op Court Jurisdiction and Rules on Society Division Procedures
The Bombay High Court clarified two key issues regarding cooperative housing societies. It upheld that Co-operative Courts have jurisdiction over internal disputes involving redevelopment resolutions, allowing members to challenge procedural matters without civil court intervention. Separately, the court ruled that residents of different wings in an integrated redevelopment cannot form separate societies by bypassing statutory division procedures under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, quashing a separate society's registration. Both rulings emphasize adherence to established legal frameworks in housing society governance.
