12. The position of law that emerges from the aforesaid judgements
clearly indicates that even if the grievance of the aggrieved party like the
petitioners herein is that the competent authority, by issuing the deemed
conveyance, has conveyed property beyond the agreement, the only
remedy is to approach the civil court. In this context, reference to the
schedules to the agreements assumes significance. The schedules are not
disputed and there is substance in the contention raised on behalf of the
respondent societies that it was due to failure on the part of the
petitioners in executing conveyances that the societies were constrained
to approach the competent authority for granting unilateral deemed
conveyance. As recorded in the aforementioned judgement in the case of

ACME Enterprises and another Vs. Deputy Registrar, Co-operative
Societies and others (supra), the enquiry in such situations is
necessarily of limited nature and disputes of the kind sought to be raised
on behalf of the parties like the petitioners ought to be ventilated before
the competent civil court. As regards the distinction sought to be made
on behalf of the petitioner that in these cases, the petitioners are carving
upon entitlements recorded in the subject agreements, suffice it to say
that such a distinction can be of no consequence, in the light of the
specific observations made by the competent authority in clauses (g), (h)
and (i) of paragraph 16 of the impugned order. The moment disputes of
the nature recorded in the said portion of the impugned order arise, there
can be no other way for the petitioners but to approach the competent
civil court to ventilate their grievances.

Arunkumar H. Shah Huf Through Kart Mr. ... vs Avon Arcade Premises Co-Operative ... on 25 February, 2021
In the case of Arunkumar H. Shah HUF Vs. Avon Arcade Premises
Co-operative Society Limited (supra), the Supreme Court in the
context of Section 11 of MOFA Act concluded as follows:-
The Maharashtra Ownership Flats (Regulation of the Promotion of Construction, Sale, Management and Transfer) Act, 1963
Mazda Construction Company vs Sultanabad Darshan Chs Ltd on 31 August, 2012
"9. ... We are of the clear opinion that the society
approached the Competent Authority with a limited request,
namely, that having formed a legal entity namely the co-
operative housing society of the flat purchasers, it is the
obligation now of the promoter to convey the right, title and
interest in the building and the lands beneath, so that the legal
entity will be entitled to enjoy the right, title and interest in the
property. If while granting the deemed conveyance, the
Competent Authority has in any manner, traveled beyond the
stipulations in the agreement, and the grievance of the
petitioners is that a larger property is allowed to be claimed by
the society contrary to the covenant-and-recitals of the two-
agreements, then the remedy of the petitioners even in terms of
two decisions of this court in Tushar Jivram Chauhan v State of
Maharashtra, (2015) 4 Mah LJ 867 and Mazda-Construction
Company v Sultanabad Darshan CHS Ltd., 2012 SCC. OnLine
Bom 1266 relied upon by Mr. Khandeparkar is not to file a writ
petition under Article 226 in this court, but to approach
competent civil court and establish this right, title and interest
in relation to the larger property. While establishing and
seeking to prove it, the petitioners can also allege that contrary
to the Development Agreement and a MOFA Agreement, the
society claimed a larger property and relying upon those
submissions the Competent Authority has granted the relief in

relation thereto. That is the prejudice caused and which the
petitioners can seek a redressal thereof by approaching such a
court. During the course of such proceedings, the petitioners
can highlight the alleged wrongful conduct of the society in
firstly bringing a suit and withdrawing it and for the same relief
namely for failure to discharge MOFA obligations, then
approaching the Competent Authority belatedly and obtaining
the Deemed Conveyance in the absence of the petitioners.
Therefore, that adjudication, if at all one can term it, and the
order therein, would not be binding on the petitioners, ought to
be the eventual declaration. That, they can claim irrespective of
any application under Section 11 of MOFA, which has been
made in this case. From the contents thereof or the observations
and conclusions in the impugned order, we are of the opinion
that the jurisdiction of the competent civil court is not barred,
despite such document being placed on record and relied upon
by respondent no. 3. The Civil court will adjudicate the issue of
right, title and interest of the petitioners in the larger property
by independently applying its mind and on a total appraisal of
the oral and documentary evidence before it. Once all such
remedies are intact then, we do not think that in writ
jurisdiction we should entertain such a dispute."
