Case Note & Summary
The dispute arose from the allotment of flats by a builder to non-Dalit members in violation of government regulations. Following a Supreme Court directive on April 12, 1996, an inquiry was conducted by the Registrar of the cooperative society, which revealed that 40 non-Dalit members were improperly allotted flats. The Registrar concluded that these allotments were contrary to the regulations and directed the ejection of the non-Dalit members, allowing the allotment of flats to eligible Dalit members instead. The court found the Registrar's report to be correct and supported the direction to eject the non-Dalit members. The court also addressed the claims of employees from the Municipal Corporation regarding their entitlement to flats, stating that their allotments should be regularized as they fell under the general category. The court ordered the administrator to take necessary steps to eject the non-Dalit members and allot the flats to the Dalit members, while also overseeing the financial transactions related to the dispossession of the non-Dalit members. The management of the society was to be handed over to the Navyuvak Harijan Uchapan Multi Unit Industrial Cooperative Society after these actions were completed.
