Western Park Housing Association Controversy: Complaints Raise Questions Over Registration, Redevelopment Process and Society Governance in Oshiwara

A series of complaints submitted to Maharashtra cooperative authorities have raised questions regarding the registration, functioning and redevelopment-related decisions of Western Park Co-operative Housing Societies Association Ltd. in Oshiwara, Mumbai. The allegations remain subject to administrative examination and have not been adjudicated by any court.

The Western Park Housing Association controversy has come under renewed scrutiny after multiple representations submitted by C.A.B. B. Shetty, an associate member of Oshiwara Amity Co-operative Housing Society Ltd., sought intervention from cooperative authorities.

Documents reviewed by Sprouts News show complaints addressed to the Commissioner for Co-operation and Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Deputy Registrar officials, concerning redevelopment-related decision-making.

According to the complaints, concerns have been raised regarding the registration and functioning of Western Park Co-operative Housing Societies Association Ltd., which operates within the Oshiwara MHADA Complex at Andheri West, Mumbai.

The association comprises member societies including Oshiwara Eden Garden CHSL, Oshiwara Aakash CHSL, Oshiwara Green View CHSL, Oshiwara Himsai CHSL, Oshiwara Amity CHSL, Oshiwara Suryakiran CHS, Oshiwara Gulmohar CHS, according to the association’s by-laws.

Questions Raised Over Association Registration and Membership Approvals

In his April 25, 2026, complaint, Shetty alleged that Oshiwara Amity CHS Ltd. was joined to Western Park Association without obtaining mandatory approvals through a Special General Body Meeting and requisite member resolutions.

The complaint further claims that only a limited number of individuals allegedly executed relevant documents on behalf of the society, raising questions regarding compliance with provisions of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act.

Shetty also requested that authorities verify whether constituent member societies had passed valid resolutions before becoming part of the association and whether statutory requirements were fully satisfied.

The representations additionally refer to Section 154B-2(3) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, under which associations of housing societies are required to satisfy prescribed membership and governance conditions.

The complaints further allege that the association’s registration process may require scrutiny to determine whether all approvals, resolutions and supporting documentation were obtained through prescribed legal procedures.

Redevelopment Decisions and Developer Selection Under Scrutiny

A significant portion of the dispute concerns redevelopment activities involving Western Park Co-operative Housing Societies Association Ltd. and the selection of a redevelopment developer.

Documents included within the complaint bundle refer to a Special General Body Meeting conducted for developer selection and redevelopment-related approvals involving M/s Shoden Developers Pvt. Ltd. (House of Hiranandani).

Notices contained in the records indicate that members of buildings numbered 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22 and 23 were invited to participate in a Special General Body Meeting held on August 24, 2025.

The agenda reportedly included developer selection through voting, approval of redevelopment terms, execution of letters of intent and authorisation of office-bearers to undertake redevelopment-related actions.

However, Shetty has questioned whether such meetings were legally competent to exercise powers that, according to his interpretation, should remain vested in the individual member societies themselves.

The complaints also cite concerns regarding representation of membership figures, redevelopment voting processes, leasehold interests and whether redevelopment decisions were taken at the appropriate statutory level.

Names, Officials and Governance Questions

Documents attached to the complaints identify several individuals associated with the association’s governance structure, including Ajay Tiwari, Sanjiv Johar and Amit Bhansali, who are listed as office-bearers in redevelopment-related notices.

Additional names appearing in association records and correspondence include Unmesh Bhide, George Sundar, Francisca Michael, Sumatibai H. Ostwal, G. Surya Narayan, Ramesh P. Bajaj, Sohan Tatani, Sionil V. Naido, Padma Saha, Sanjin Johar and Aparna Chaturvedi.

Separate correspondence submitted by Shetty also records an interaction involving Mr. Kavardeep Gandhi and Mr. Amit Malik concerning redevelopment discussions and requests for inspection of society records.

The complaints further refer to Deputy Registrar officials, MHADA authorities and previous redevelopment-related communications involving authorised representatives appointed under Section 79A redevelopment guidelines.

What Happens Next

At present, the allegations remain part of representations submitted before cooperative and redevelopment authorities. No judicial finding contained in the documents establishes wrongdoing against any individual, office-bearer, society or institution.

The complaints seek inquiries into registration procedures, redevelopment approvals, membership resolutions, developer selection processes and the legality of actions undertaken by the association and associated entities.

Any future action will depend on the findings of competent authorities, responses from concerned stakeholders and the outcome of any administrative or legal proceedings arising from the representations. Sprouts News will continue monitoring developments in this matter.
