NISHA SINGLA vs ADARSH COLONY COOPERATIVE HOUSE BUILDING SOCIETY LTD.

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of plot allotments made by the Administrator of a Cooperative Society under Section 26(1-D) of the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1961. The Court held that the allotments were invalid due to the absence of a proper criterion for selection, emphasizing the need for fairness and adherence to established procedures in allotment processes. Consequently, the Court upheld the Deputy Registrar's decision to cancel the allotments made by the Administrator, reinforcing the principle that administrative actions must comply with statutory requirements.
