My cooperative society in Kolkata is refusing to transfer my flat share; where do I complain?
LE Asked by Legal Expert from India
Legal Information
Below is a comprehensive legal analysis based on Indian law for your question.
Disputes with a cooperative housing society are adjudicated by the Cooperative Court or Registrar of Cooperative Societies in Kolkata under the State Cooperative Societies Act, where you can file a dispute for transfer of shares, occupancy rights, or against society resolutions. The dispute should annex the membership, the application for transfer, and the society's refusal. The order is appealable to Calcutta High Court or a State appellate tribunal as prescribed. West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997 governs cooperative societies, so the State Act and rules determine the forum and procedure. The society must follow natural justice and cannot arbitrarily refuse transfer. A declaration and mandatory injunction can be sought. Limitation is typically as prescribed by the State Act.
