Authority: High Court of Judicature at Bombay, Civil Appellate Jurisdiction

Order Date: 8 September 2026

Case Overview

  • Petitioners: Chandramohan Bhaskar Vaishampayan and an associate; Respondents: Chintaman Bhuvan Co‑op. Hsg. Soc. Ltd. and others.
  • The petition challenges the order dated 3 July 2019 issued by the District Deputy Registrar, Co‑operative Societies, Thane, which granted a certificate of unilateral deemed conveyance of 539.30 sq m of land to Respondent No. 1 (the Society).
  • Petitioners claim ownership of a structure known as Building ‘A’ and allege that the certificate incorrectly conveyed the entire land without recognising their interest.
  • Respondent No. 1 contended that, contrary to the certificate, a registered Deed of Conveyance reserves development potential (FSI) of 1,703.03 sq m for the petitioners, allocating 21.20 % share of the development potential to them and 78.80 % to the Society.

Final Outcome

  • The Court held that the registered Deed of Assignment/Conveyance supersedes the unilateral deemed conveyance certificate dated 3 July 2019.
  • Accordingly, the petition is disposed of.
  • The Revenue Authority is directed to amend the revenue records to reflect the shares of development potential as per the registered Deed of Conveyance (21.20 % to petitioners, 78.80 % to the Society).
