CHANDIGARH: The commission set up to investigate into AICC chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra's case got another extension of six weeks. The Justice SN Dhingra Commission of Inquiry set up by the Haryana state government last year to look into matters pertaining land licenses to certain companies including a firm owned by Vadra.
Retired judge of Delhi High Court, Justice Dhingra said, "I was on my way to submit the report, somebody approached me with a bunch of documents, saying these were related to benami transactions by those who had benefited from land licenses. These needed to be studied further." This is the second time the term of the commission is been extended. Meanwhile, the Congress has kept its attack on Justice Dhingra steady, saying he was hence "incompetent and unsuitable to deliver a verdict." Former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda demanded the panel be revoked saying it had been set up "contrary to established rules and norms, without Cabinet approval and prompted by malice and political considerations."
The one-man commission was set up on May 14, 2015, by the NDA government, to probe the grant of licenses to "some entities" in Sector 83, Gurgaon, to develop commercial colonies.
