Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Bombay High Court's order denying a mandamus for repairs to the appellant's flat under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960 and the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888. The Court held that the appellant, being a member of the cooperative society, has the right to seek repairs under Section 354 of the 1888 Act, and emphasized the society's obligation to maintain the property. The appeal was allowed, directing the society to undertake necessary repairs and comply with municipal directives.
