CHANDIGARH: Even as a fresh FIR has been filed in the 2008 land deal between Robert Vadra ’s firm Skylight Hospitality and realty major DLF, the Haryana government has not renewed the licence for a commercial colony on the contentious piece of land. The licence lapsed on December 14, 2016.“We have not renewed the licence so far. We will have to look at the file to give specific reasons,” said chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar ’s media advisor Rajiv Jain.When contacted, a DLF spokesperson told TOI, “As far as DLF is concerned, it is a 100% compliant organisation in all respects. As far as this licence is concerned, all government charges and dues stand paid. The renewal of licence has been applied as per policy in order to revalidate the same. The plot would be developed as per the permissions and rules and regulations of the government.” The spokesperson maintained DLF is pursuing it as the land’s owner.Acting on the complaint of Surender Kumar, a resident of Nuh, Gurgaon police had on Saturday booked Skylight, former Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda , the management of Omkareshwar Properties and others in a case of cheating and fraud, and under sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act.Skylight Hospitality had purchased around three acres in Shikohpur for Rs 7.5 crore in 2008. After some time, Haryana’s town and country planning department issued a letter of intent to set up a commercial colony on 2.7 acres. In 2008, Skylight signed an agreement to sell three acres to DLF for Rs 58 crore. The sale deed was registered in favour of DLF in 2012. The licence was first renewed by the Congress government in 2012.IAS officer Ashok Khemka, who was then director of consolidation, had cancelled the mutation of the land deal on October 15, 2012, less than a month after it was executed by consolidation officer Dalbir Singh. Soon after coming to office in October 2014, the BJP government had suspended Singh. In May 2015, the BJP government set up a commission headed by Justice (retd) S N Dhingra to probe the land deals of Gurgaon.The Haryana government is now refusing to renew the licence. Since November 2016, Khattar has decentralised powers and files related to licences are handled by the director general of town and country planning.A senior bureaucrat associated with the department said, “The licence stands terminated in case it is not renewed in time. Ownership of the licensed land vests with the registered owner. The licence can be restored after following due process.”
