New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday dismissed a PIL seeking CBI probe into licences granted to Haryana realty developers, including one to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra.
A division bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice RS Endlaw pronounced the judgment on the public interest litigation filed by advocate ML Sharma.
The petitioner had alleged that several licences were issued to developers and builders for turning 21,366 acres of agricultural land into colonies without complying with the statutory rules.
The decision caused ‘serious financial loss of Rs 3.9 lakh crore' to the exchequer, the PIL said.
In the plea, he contended that allocation of licences for developing colonies was contrary to provisions of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975.
The PIL was filed against Skylight Hospitality, Robert Vadra and DLF Universal Ltd. among others.
