HDIL Sold Non-Existent Flats, Society Denies Membership, Court Says Society Is Right
In a major victory for housing societies, the Bombay High Court has upheld the decision of Dheeraj Dreams CHS Ltd. to deny membership to buyers who purchased “flats” that never existed. HDIL had sold mandatory refuge areas as residential flats years after the developer lost rights over the property. The Court ruled that societies cannot be forced to admit members for non-existent flats as it would violate the law.
