Section 154B-27 MCS Act | Registrar Cannot Enforce Developer’s Contractual Claims - Only Statutory Obligations Fall Within Jurisdiction : Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court has ruled that the Registrar under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act lacks authority to enforce developmental or contractual rights claimed by a developer, limiting intervention strictly to statutory duties under the Act or bye-laws. This sets a vital precedent for cooperative societies resisting undue interference in private agreements, reinforcing the boundary between administrative oversight and civil contract enforcement.
