Co-operative Court Has Jurisdiction Over Property Recovery Disputes U/S 91 Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act: Bombay High Court

The Bombay High Court recently ruled that the Cooperative Court does not have jurisdiction over disputes related to property recovery under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act. This decision clarifies that such matters fall outside the purview of the Cooperative Court and should be addressed through other legal avenues. The court emphasized that the Cooperative Court's jurisdiction is limited to issues strictly within the cooperative sector's operational framework, excluding property recovery disputes. This ruling aims to streamline dispute resolution processes by ensuring that cases involving property disputes are handled by appropriate forums rather than overburdening the Cooperative Court with cases beyond its designated scope.
