Pratima Chowdhury vs Kalpana Mukherjee & Anr

The Supreme Court ruled that the transfer of flat no. 5D from Indirani Bhattacharya to Pratima Chowdhury was valid under the provisions of the West Bengal Co-operative Societies Act, 1983, as the Society and the Deputy Registrar approved the transfer. The Court emphasized that the Society's consent and the Deputy Registrar's approval are essential for such transfers, and the absence of monetary consideration in the subsequent transfer request to Kalpana Mukherjee does not invalidate the original transfer. The Court upheld the validity of the transfer and the rights of Pratima Chowdhury as a member of the Society.
