Justice Gautam Patel in his order stated that, "The next time a similar matter is received, the court will first order immediate eviction of the dissenting member — vacating that very day, or at best the next — and then issue an order of costs, keeping in mind the costs incurred by the society, the loss to other society members, and the actual loss suffered by the developer on account of the delay occasioned by such members"
Despite of opponents have not signed the Development Agreement, "there is inherent evidence in the agreement itself that the benefits of the agreement inure to all 14 members" and development agreement is signed by the society. Hence the same shall be binding to all members including the opponents.
