Mahira Homes Case Escalates in 2025: Supreme Court Cancels Bail of Dharam Singh Chhokar, ED Tightens Noose on Promoters
New Delhi
The legal troubles surrounding Mahira Homes and its promoters have intensified significantly in 2025, with strong action from the Supreme Court and the Enforcement Directorate (ED), bringing renewed attention to one of Haryana’s biggest affordable housing controversies.
Supreme Court Developments (2025)
In July 2025, the Supreme Court cancelled the interim bail granted to former MLA and Mahira Homes director Dharam Singh Chhokar, strongly reprimanding him and his legal team for making false and misleading claims on medical grounds. The apex court ordered his immediate surrender, stating that judicial relief cannot be sought by misrepresenting facts.
In a major move aimed at accountability, the Supreme Court also directed the Haryana government to submit a detailed list of all affordable housing licences issued over the last ten years. This direction came after petitions filed by aggrieved homebuyers alleged that nearly ₹160 crore was siphoned off from Mahira Homes projects.
The court continues to hear petitions filed by the Mahira Homes-104 Buyers Welfare Association against multiple authorities, including the ED and HARERA, over prolonged project delays and alleged regulatory lapses.
Status of the Chhokar Family
- Dharam Singh Chhokar was arrested by the ED in May 2025 from a luxury hotel in Delhi after being absconding for an extended period. He remains in judicial custody after the Supreme Court refused to entertain further bail pleas.
- Sikandar Singh Chhokar, his son, was earlier arrested for allegedly siphoning off nearly ₹400 crore from homebuyers. Though he secured bail in early 2025, widespread protests erupted outside his residence in September 2025 as buyers demanded urgent government intervention due to stalled projects.
- Vikas Chhokar, the second son, continues to evade arrest. Proclamation proceedings against him were ongoing as of September 2025.
Mahira Homes Projects: Current Status
Several Mahira Homes projects across Gurugram sectors 63A, 68, 95, 103, and 104 remain incomplete. The Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (HARERA) has cancelled registrations of multiple projects after uncovering alleged siphoning of over ₹616 crore and the use of forged bank guarantees to obtain licences.
During August and September 2025, HARERA issued multiple refund orders directing Mahira Homes and its associated entities—such as Sai Aaina Farms and Czar Buildwell—to return buyer investments along with 10.85% interest.
Meanwhile, the ED has provisionally attached properties worth approximately ₹80 crore belonging to the promoters under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
What Buyers Can Do
Affected homebuyers can track updates and case progress through:
- Haryana RERA Complaint Status Portal
- Supreme Court Case Status Portal, using project or petitioner details
The Mahira Homes case continues to be closely watched, as it raises serious questions about regulatory oversight, buyer protection, and accountability in India’s affordable housing sector.
