MYURDHWAJ COOP. G.H.S. vs PRESIDING OFFICER

The Supreme Court addressed the criteria for allotment of flats by a Cooperative Housing Society under the Delhi Cooperative Societies Act, 1972, specifically whether seniority or payment-cum-seniority should govern the allotment process. The Court held that the society's decision to prioritize payment over seniority was valid, affirming the Arbitrator's award which favored the society. The judgment clarified that the society's rules regarding payment defaults were lawful and did not violate any statutory provisions.
