Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Societies Act, 1964, particularly the bye-laws regarding nomination and transfer of shares upon a member's death. The Court held that the failure to notify the society of a member's death and the subsequent allotment of the plot to another member were valid under the bye-laws, as the original member's nomination was not executed properly. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision that the allotment to Shri Anne Srinivas was lawful and binding.
