#Section 91 MCS Act

The Bombay High Court has ruled that housing societies cannot oust civil court jurisdiction over redevelopment disputes merely by passing resolutions-jurisdiction is preserved unless the society’s bye-laws expressly list redevelopment as an object. This protects members from being forced into arbitration-like processes without statutory authorization, reinforcing access to judicial remedies in property rights conflicts.

Bombay High Court rules that service disputes involving employees of co-operative banks fall outside the purview of Co-operative Courts under Section 91 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960. The judgment clarifies that such disputes must be adjudicated by civil courts, impacting employment litigation for co-operative bank employees.
