Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the membership of appellants in a registered society, which was challenged following their admission by a Managing Committee facing a requisition for a Special General Body Meeting. The court held that the admission of new members under such circumstances was improper and directed that the membership be invalidated. This judgment underscores the importance of adhering to procedural norms in the governance of societies.
