¶85

This review is filed to expunge some observations in the judgment that the society consisting of the flat owners can utilize the common facilities for the benefit of the members. I am unable to appreciate the dispute among the members of the Society because if the Management of the Society goes against the interest of the majority of the members, I see no reason why the majority cannot remove the governing body. Since dispute among the members in the Co-operative Society can be settled either in arbitration or through a complaint to the Registrar for enquiry under Section 65 of the Co-operative Societies Act, this review petition is disposed of leaving freedom to the petitioner to seek appropriate remedy under the Co-operative Societies Act.
