The Allahabad High Court has dismissed a petition seeking to reopen a sealed flat in Greater Noida's Mayfair Residency, citing unclear ownership claims. The court noted that the petitioner failed to provide proof of possession or registration and suggested the plea might have been filed on behalf of the builder, Supercity Developers. Authorities revealed that the developer owed INR 8.6 crore under RERA and was operating its office from the sealed flat. This ruling underscores the legal hurdles in delayed real estate projects and the importance of proper documentation for homebuyers.
The Allahabad High Court has rejected a petition seeking to reopen a sealed flat in Greater Noida's Mayfair Residency, raising concerns over the legitimacy of the claim. The court observed that the petitioner's rights over the property were unclear and suggested the possibility of the plea being filed as a proxy for the builder, Supercity Developers. Advertisement
The petition was filed by a homebuyer in September last year, arguing that the district administration had sealed the flat without legal authority. However, the bench of Justices Ashwani Kumar Mishra and Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal noted that the petitioner failed to provide necessary documents proving possession or registration of the flat, despite being given an opportunity to do so.
The Uttar Pradesh government's counsel informed the court that Supercity Developers owed INR 8.6 crore under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. It was also pointed out that the builder was operating its office from the sealed flat, reinforcing the administration's decision to seal it. The developer's office was originally sealed in July 2022 after failing to refund homebuyers for undelivered flats in the project.
This case highlights ongoing legal challenges in the real estate sector, where delayed projects and financial disputes continue to impact homebuyers. Legal experts suggest that homebuyers must ensure proper documentation before taking possession of flats to avoid complications in ownership claims.
The court also refused to examine whether the flat was sealed following proper legal procedures, stating that the petition did not provide sufficient grounds for interference. With this ruling, the matter stands closed unless further legal action is pursued by the affected parties.
