Deemed Conveyance Under MOFA | Land Entitlement Must Be Proportionate to Built-Up Area, Not Administrative Error : Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court has ruled that a cooperative housing society cannot claim excess land merely because another society received less than its rightful share due to administrative oversight. Land allocation under the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act must strictly reflect the proportion of built-up area each society owns, preventing unjust enrichment and reinforcing equitable distribution in joint layouts.
