Case Summary: WP/6134/2026 The Bombay High Court allowed Tereza Maria Silveira's writ petition, quashing the housing society's refusal to grant her membership following her husband's death. The court held that when all legal heirs consent to membership transmission and no disputes exist among them, the society cannot refuse membership based on hypothetical third-party claims; the society's role is limited to verifying consensus among heirs, not adjudicating external property disputes. The petitioner must be granted membership within 8 weeks. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
