Allahabad High Court orders fresh Mahagun Mezzaria AOA election and fund handover

What the court directed

The court heard Mahagun Group’s challenge to the registered AOA on October 13. The developer had filed its petition on October 7, arguing that the association was improperly constituted and that funds should not be transferred to it. The AOA’s elected executive committee had been registered by the Deputy Registrar, Chits and Funds, Ghaziabad.

Reports published on October 15 said both sides agreed during the hearing to resolve the dispute through the prescribed association-formation process. The court directed that fresh elections be held after the voter list is finalised, under the process described as Section 14(2) of the Uttar Pradesh Apartment Act, 2010. The Deputy Registrar is to conduct or oversee the election.

The court also directed the developer to provide documents requested under Section 12 of the Act within one week of the order. After the election process is completed, the developer must hand over the funds, common areas and basic facilities to the AOA within 15 days.

Funds and buyer implications

The AOA estimates that the interest-free maintenance security (IFMS) and other funds to be transferred total about ₹24 crore. The reports attribute that estimate to the association; they do not provide a court-verified breakdown.

For residents, the order sets out a route to elect an association and obtain project documents, common areas, basic facilities and funds from the developer. It does not itself establish when the voter list, election or handover will be completed. Those steps follow the court’s directions and the election process.

Reports said 710 flats had been sold and 446 had received occupancy certificates. These figures describe the project at the time of the reports and do not establish the status of individual units.

Project record and next steps

Mahagun Mezzaria is a residential project in Sector 79, Noida, in Gautam Buddha Nagar district. UP RERA lists Nexgen Infracon Pvt. Ltd. (Mahagun Group) as the promoter under registration number UPRERAPRJ3306.

As of October 16, 2026, the next steps set out in the reports are document delivery within one week of the order, finalisation of the voter list, an election within 15 days after that list is finalised, and handover within 15 days after the election process is completed. The reports give no calendar dates for the voter-list finalisation, election or handover.
