Dy Registrar can’t arm-twist co-op housing societies: HC

The Bombay high court has stopped a deputy registrar of co-operative societies in Mumbai from allowing a co-operative housing society to issue no-objection certificates to a resident for certain alterations, reports HT.

Earlier the deputy registrar had directed Shree Raghunandan co-operative housing society to issue necessary NOCs to the member for joining four tenements and converting use of the premises from residential to commercial.

The Court said “In my prima-facie opinion the Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Societies ex-facie did not have any jurisdiction and authority to issue such a direction to the petitioner society to issue a NOC as contained in the order,” said justice Girish Kulkarni.

The housing society moved the High Court challenging the order.
