    The Bombay High Court granted interim protection to cooperative housing society members against an order superseding their Managing Committee. The court held that under Section 154B-22 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, vacant reserved seats for backward classes should be excluded when calculating effective committee strength (treating 13 seats as 11), meaning the existing members satisfied the two-thirds majority requirement for Section 77A applicability. The court stayed the appointment of an Authorized Officer pending statutory appeal, with an additional eight-week stay if the appeal is decided against petitioners. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
