Orders
Case Summary: The Bombay High Court dismissed petitions by members challenging their exclusion from cooperative society elections. The court held that petitioners, who were loan defaulters on the January 1, 2025 cutoff date for voter list preparation, had no voting rights under Section 27(10) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960. Clearing dues after the cutoff date did not restore voting rights; petitioners should have cleared debts before the cutoff if they intended to participate in elections. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
