PRATIMA CHOWDHURY vs KALPANA MUKHERJEE

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 resignation of Indirani Bhattacharya and the subsequent transfer of membership to Pratima Chowdhury were duly ratified by the Society's Board. The Court held that Pratima Chowdhury's request to transfer the flat to her nominee, Kalpana Mukherjee, was legitimate and should be honored, affirming the rights of members under cooperative society regulations.
