Action will be taken on the findings of Justice S.N. Dhingra commission that probed alleged irregularities in grant of land licences to a firm owned by Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Khattar said on Friday.
He denied the Congress’ allegation that the Commission’s report was leaked and said the court should take cognisance of the matter. His response came after a media report claimed that Vadra had been indicted by the Commission for making unlawful profits in a land deal in 2008.
Mr. Khattar noted that the court has not given permission to make public the report of the Commission, which was formed by his government after coming to power in October 2014. “Once the report is made public and something comes out, it will be a matter of investigation,” he said.

The Commission submitted its report to Mr. Khattar on August 31, 2016. Its contents are yet to be made public by the government, which gave an undertaking in the Punjab and Haryana High Court not to release the report until directed by the court.
