Co-operative Societies Act | Founder Members' Rights Cannot Be Extinguished by Post-Hoc Resolutions : Bombay HC Upholds Statutory Confirmation Over Internal Amendments
Bombay High Court rules that once a co-operative society's founder member's rights are statutorily confirmed, they cannot be nullified by subsequent internal resolutions. The court awarded Rs. 22,000 plus 7% interest from 1988 to the petitioner, reinforcing that discriminatory flat allotment and denial of possession violate natural justice and membership rights under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act.
