A complaint was filed by Respondent No. 3 – Mr. Ashok Aggarwal that the allotment of the Petitioners is liable to be cancelled on the ground that on the date when the Petitioners’ predecessors, i.e., Mr. Kewal Kapoor and Mr. Manohar Lal Kapoor obtained the membership of the Society, they and their wives were co-owners of property bearing no. BM – 44, Shalimar Bagh, West, Delhi. Therefore, the disqualification under Rule 25 of the Delhi Cooperative Societies Rules, 1973 was attracted. In view thereof, the allotment deserves to be
cancelled as per the complainant.”

7. Ordered accordingly.
