The Bombay High Court has ruled that housing societies in Mumbai are entitled to conveyance that includes not only the building footprint but also surrounding open spaces and common amenities. This decision was made in response to a petition from Rashesh Cooperative Housing Society in Bhayandar West, which challenged a previous order by the District Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Thane, limiting conveyance to the building's plinth area. The society, formed in 2015, argued that under a Government Resolution from June 2018, they are entitled to open spaces and common facilities. The court, led by Justice Amit Borkar, agreed, stating that conveyance must consider planning regulations that dictate the necessary areas for beneficial enjoyment of the property. Consequently, the court ordered that Rashesh CHS is entitled to conveyance of 2,201.56 sqm and a proportionate right in a 703.62 sqm recreational ground, directing the District Deputy Registrar to issue a new certificate of deemed conveyance within eight weeks.
