Bombay High Court Affirms Co-operative Court's Power to Implead Necessary Parties in Society Dispute
The Bombay High Court ruled that a Co-operative Court can add a person as a party to a dispute even if not listed under Section 91 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, provided their presence is necessary for proper adjudication. This decision upheld the impleadment of a developer in a dispute involving a Pune housing society, where members challenged resolutions accepting a settlement with the developer. The court clarified this power cannot be used to broaden the dispute's scope beyond the court's jurisdiction.
