Section 21A MCS Act - De-registration allowed only for material misrepresentation at registration, not for post-registration construction breaches | Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court ruled that a cooperative society can be deregistered under Section 21A only if its original registration was obtained through a material misrepresentation, and not merely for construction irregularities discovered later. This narrows the scope of de-registration, protecting societies from punitive cancellation for compliance lapses after registration.
