    Summary The Bombay High Court acquitted the applicants (Secretary and Chairman of a housing society) of charges under Section 475A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act for failing to comply with a repair notice. The court found the conviction perverse because: (1) the notice was issued based on a complaint by a defaulting member with personal grievances; (2) the building remained structurally sound for 11 years after the notice, contradicting claims of dangerous deterioration; and (3) the society had genuinely attempted to collect funds from defaulting members to finance repairs, demonstrating lack of criminal intent.
