https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184325 Section 27 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Housing Societies Act, 1960 confers a statutory voting right on every admitted member and limits each member to one vote. Bye-laws, being subordinate to the Act, cannot impose a contrary restriction such as a "one family one vote" formula. The distinction between flat ownership and society membership was material, and once more than one family member was duly admitted as a member, the statutory voting entitlement could not be curtailed by bye-law. The statutory scheme prevailed over the society's bye-laws, and the challenge to the voting restriction failed. en-us Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 18:23:26 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=184325 Section 27 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Housing Societies Act, 1960 confers a statutory voting right on every admitted member and limits each member to one vote.
