1 CHS.1406.10-S.2233.90.sxw mnm IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION CHAMBER SUMMONS NO. 1406 OF 2010 IN SUIT NO. 2233 OF 1990 Ramsurat Rampayare Mourya & Ors. ...Plaintiffs Vs. Pascol Martin Mendes & Ors. ...Defendants And Dahisar Navjeevan Co-op. Hsng. Society Ltd. ...Applicant Mr. Vijay Gharat for Plaintiffs Ms. Deepa Kamat i/b. N.P. Nikale for Applicant Mr. A.N.Helekar for Defendants 1 to 5 CORAM : SMT. ROSHAN DALVI, J. DATED : 14TH JUNE, 2011 P.C. : 1. The Plaintiffs in this suit are individuals who are members of a Co- operative Housing Society. There are other members in the Society also. The Society desires to represent all its members. The cause of action of the Society and the members is similar. 2. The application is by the Applicant Society to be joined as party Plaintiff. If that is done, the Society would represent the interest of all its members. The ambit of the Chamber Summons is very narrow. When a Society is formed, a Society must represent the interest of the members as it is a legal entity. In fact after the registration of the Society few members of the Society could not sue 2 CHS.1406.10-S.2233.90.sxw in their individual capacity. A similar application was taken out earlier, which came to be dismissed as the Advocate for the Society did not represent the Society. Hence this application is taken out. 3. Consequently, the Chamber Summons is allowed. 4. The Applicant shall carry out the amendments as per the schedule within 2 weeks from today. 5. The Applicant shall also amend the copy of the plaint served upon the Defendants within 2 weeks from today. 6. The Chamber Summons is disposed off accordingly. (SMT. ROSHAN DALVI, J.)
