MYURDHWAJ COOP. G.H.S. vs PRESIDING OFFICER — C.A. No. 16790/1996

Case Summary: Myurdhwaj Cooperative Group Housing Society Ltd. v. Presiding Officer, Delhi Cooperative Tribunal Decision: The Supreme Court held that housing cooperative societies may adopt a "payment-cum-seniority" criterion for flat allotment, not strict seniority alone. The Court quashed the Tribunal and High Court orders that mandated seniority-only allocation, finding the Society's January 1990 resolution—segregating defaulting members to Phase II construction—was just, proper, and fair. The case was remanded to determine whether proper notice was served on respondent member. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
