Issue of Share Certificates and Membership Rights - Several cases highlight the legal obligation of cooperative societies in Maharashtra to issue share certificates upon valid membership applications and to recognize members as per court orders.

Ltd. - Bombay, and courts have affirmed membership rights under Sections 23(1A), 79(1) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act (MCS Act) New India Co-Operative Housing Society VS Deputy Registrar, Co-Operative Societies - Bombay.
Court Orders and Society Compliance - Courts have issued directives to societies to recognize membership and issue share certificates, which societies are mandated to comply with, failing which legal challenges can be sustained.

Analysis and Conclusion: In Maharashtra, cooperative societies are legally bound to issue share certificates to valid members and comply with court orders recognizing membership rights. The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, along with Rules 107 and 154, provides detailed procedures for membership registration, share issuance, and dispute resolution. Societies must adhere to these provisions to avoid legal liabilities.
