Allahabad High Court Mandates Owner Consent for Property Plan Alterations
What happened
The Allahabad High Court held that a promoter must obtain the written consent of all apartment owners before altering the plans, specifications, or common areas of a building that were initially disclosed to buyers. This requirement is based on Section 5(3)(a) of the Uttar Pradesh Apartment (Promotion of Construction, Ownership and Maintenance) Act, 2010.

Why it matters
The ruling establishes that the percentage of undivided interest in common areas for each apartment owner is permanent and can only be changed with the written consent of all owners and approval from the competent authority. This imposes a new regulatory requirement on property promoters operating under the Act.
