Why you need it

When you need it

Once a dispute on the society's constitution, management or business must go to the Registrar, not a civil suit. S.55, Punjab Co-operative Societies Act, 1961 requires it; s.82 bars civil/revenue-court jurisdiction. State the parties, dispute type, facts, prior decision, documents and relief — keep a title controversy separate. Chandigarh: same Act, 1963 Rules. Filing fee/limitation for a s.55 reference weren't confirmed.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh.

If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

REFERENCE OF A DISPUTE TO THE REGISTRAR

Reference date: 2 April 2026

Applicant record: ABC Cooperative House Building Society Ltd, registration CHD/COOP/118; member Aarav Sharma, member no. M-118, unit Flat 804. Jurisdiction: Punjab.

Respondent: X, X. Dispute: Maintenance or special-levy liability. Facts: X. Prior decision: X, dated 1 April 2026. Prior attempt: Written demand and response exchanged. Details: X. Documents: X. Relief: X.

RECORD PARTICULARS

What is the society registered office address? Sector 48, Chandigarh

What is the member correspondence address? Flat 804, Sector 48, Chandigarh

What society/property record identifies the unit? Share Certificate SC-118

What committee/general-body resolution supports the action? Resolution 14 dated 01 September 2026

JURISDICTIONAL FIT

The reference should explain why the controversy touches the constitution, management or business of the cooperative society. A separate dispute over external property title should not be pulled into section 55 merely because one litigant happens to be a member.

RELIEF PRECISION

The relief should be something the Registrar or authorised adjudicatory process can grant under the Act. A focused prayer for account correction, dues determination, membership action or society decision is stronger than a broad request for every civil remedy.
