  "summary": "The Mumbai Co-operative Court has ordered the Topiwala Centre Premises Co-operative Society Ltd to restore the water supply to Topiwala Theatre, deeming the society's disconnection of the water service as arbitrary and disproportionate. The court emphasized that water is a basic essential need and cutting off the supply is not an appropriate means to enforce demands. The theatre had approached the court after the society disconnected the water supply on October 8, 2026, and restricted access to the terrace, citing a severe water shortage and pending maintenance dues. The society, however, admitted to disconnecting the water supply but argued that it was facing a water crisis and had dues pending from the theatre.",
