Robert Vadra land deal: Justice Dhingra Commission to submit report today.

The commission was set up to look into the grant of land licences to some companies, including that of Robert Vadra, during former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda's regime in Haryana.

According to media reports, certain official wrongdoing has been documented in the report. Realty major DLF could escape strictures given that the real estate company came into the picture only after licence was granted by the Hooda government to Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law's Skylight Hospitality Limited, said sources.

The report is likely to come down on the processes followed to grant licence to Vadra's company. A report of the Comptroller and Auditor General had already pointed out irregularities in such deals. 

On Tuesday, Hooda called the one-man commission a "witch-hunt" and reiterated that "no special favours were extended to anybody."

"Not only in Sector 83 of Gurgaon, but across the state, no extraordinary favours were given to anybody," he said at The Idea Exchange programme of The Indian Express in New Delhi on Tuesday. He raised questions on the commission's constitution and called it "politically motivated".

"I can't say at this moment what the (probe) report is going to be. I will only be able to say something once I see it. But as far as constitution of the commission is concerned, it is politically motivated and it was constituted for political considerations," Hooda said.
