The Supreme Court clarified its earlier judgment dated 30-01-2012 in Civil Appeal Nos. 1175-1177 of 2012, which set aside the Bombay High Court's dismissal of two suits under Section 91 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960. The Court held that the suits were maintainable and directed the High Court to consider interim orders based on the plaintiffs' applications. The Court emphasized the need for the High Court to examine the legal rights and obligations of the society's members before passing any interim orders, while maintaining status quo for two weeks to facilitate this process.
