Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the removal of the appellant from the Society's membership due to non-filing of an affidavit, despite having paid the full cost of the plot, was unjust. The Court emphasized that the requirement for an affidavit was already fulfilled by the appellant under the Society's Bye-law, and thus, the Society's action violated principles of natural justice. The Court ruled in favor of the appellant, reinstating his membership and entitlement to the plot allotment.
