PIL filed to seek probe into Vadra's Skylight Hospitality land deals in Rajasthan

The Delhi High Court on Wednesday fixed May 15 for hearing a PIL seeking a court-monitored CBI probe into land deals entered into by Robert Vadra firms.

A bench comprising Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice RS Endlaw fixed the case for hearing arguments on the maintainability of the plea on May 15 next after petitioner- lawyer M L Sharma sought adjournment saying he did not want Congress or BJP to take political mileage out of judicial proceedings.

The petitioner opposes the grant of licenses to change land use of agricultural plots purchased by companies, in which Vadra has stakes in Gurgaon. The PIL also seeks a probe into land deals entered into by Skylight Hospitality Pvt ltd and its subsidiaries in Rajasthan.
