In Brief
A cooperative housing society for Life Insurance Corporation employees allotted Plot No.2 to the appellant in 1989-1990 despite an interim court injunction. The respondent, an LIC employee and depositor, had exercised her option for Plot No.2 at a members' meeting on 18 December 1988, contributing Rs.4,750 towards the society's land acquisition. The appellant was not a depositor, made no contribution, and submitted no membership application. The Supreme Court held the respondent was a depositor entitled to the plot, the appellant's allotment was illegal, and the sale deed and ratifying resolution must be quashed. The Court dismissed the appellant's appeal and directed that allotments be restricted to those who exercised options on that date."
