Our building in Mumbai city has 11 no. Flats . Can the flat owners register a co op. Society if only 8 flat owners are in favor of it , remaining 3 want to register it as Apartment scheme and refusing to go along , in society formation ? ( As I understand , min. 10 no. Members are reqd to register it , as per Maharashtra State Co op. Act ) . Out of these 11 flats , 10 are sized more than 700 sq. ft. built up area and 1 is of 350 sq. ft. Is there any legal loophole , ( such as Special permission etc . , to bypass the reqmt. of min. no. of flats beiing 10 no. ? Also , if the society is registered with only 8 flatowners signing on the dotted line , will it be lawful ?
