Summary: A recent court decision canceled several orders related to starting a cooperative society in Baramati, Pune. The case involved disagreements over the registration process and claims of cheating.
Sandeep Bhausaheb Shelar, who lives in Baramati, Pune, filed several complaints against the State of Maharashtra and others, including a business called R.V. Realty. The issue was about land in Jalochi, Baramati, where the developer didn't set up a cooperative society on time.
Judge Amit Borkar canceled the previous orders, stressing the need for fair decision-making. The court pointed out that Sandeep Bhausaheb Shelar's proposal was ignored in favor of the developer's, which did not follow the rules.
"The authority must ensure that an application filed by buyers is properly examined," said Judge Borkar.
The case included serious claims that signatures were obtained by tricking people. Eighty-four people said their signatures were used without their permission. The court ordered a detailed investigation into these claims.
A big issue was the size of the land proposed for the society. While agreements covered 26,000 square meters, the developer's plan included only 7,903.86 square meters. The court emphasized the need to check the correct land size.
The District Deputy Registrar must re-evaluate the proposals, check the signatures, and make sure the correct land size is included. The court also suggested a possible investigation into the actions of the Assistant Registrar, Mr. Pramod Durgude.
The judgment highlights the importance of following the rules and ensuring honesty in setting up cooperative societies. The case will be reviewed again in court on April 28, 2026, to check if everything has been done correctly.
