Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Cooperative Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate the validity of a registered sale deed, which can only be challenged in a Civil Court as per the provisions of the Delhi Cooperative Societies Act, 2003. The Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions filed by the appellant Society, affirming that the Tribunal's decision to set aside the Registrar's award was correct. The judgment clarifies the jurisdictional boundaries between the Cooperative Tribunal and Civil Courts regarding disputes over sale deeds.
