No violation of law found in Robert Vadra-DLF deal: BJP govt informs high court

New Delhi (India), 21st April 2023: The Punjab and Haryana High Court in Chandigarh has been informed by the Haryana government that no violations of laws or regulations were discovered in the transfer of land by businessman Robert Vadra’s Skylight Hospitality to real estate giant DLF.

The probe was connected to a FIR filed in September 2018 in Gurugram against Mr. Hooda, Mr. Vadra, the son-in-law of Congresswoman Sonia Gandhi and a few other people.

The affidavit submitted by the Haryana government said, “M/s Skylight Hospitality sold 3.5-acre land to M/s DLF Universal Limited on September 18, 2012, and no regulation/rules have been violated in the said transaction.”

The Haryana police are, however, looking into the financial transactions that were recorded during the aforementioned sale.

In Haryana, the BJP had charged irregularities in the land purchases made during the previous Congress administration, and it turned into a significant electoral issue in 2014.

According to the affidavit, a FIR was filed at police station Kherki Daula, Gurugram, in September 2018 against Mr. Hooda and a number of other suspects in violation of numerous IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act provisions.
