The Justice SN Dhingra Commission of Inquiry, set up by the Haryana government to investigate the conditions under which licenses for the development of colonies in Gurgaon were granted to some entities which resulted in loss of revenue to the public exchequer, will also recommend measures for systemic improvement.
Giving this information here today, an official spokesman said that the Commission would inquire into the conditions under which some entities were granted licenses for the development of colonies in the villages of Sihi, Shikohpur, Kherki Daula and Sikandarpur Bada Gurgaon.
It would investigate if the entities were granted licenses as per applicable laws, rules, circulars, notifications, guidelines, etc prevalent in the State and Town and Country Planning Department, he said.
The Commission would also inquire whether the transfer of licenses within a short period of time to other entities was in violation of the rules and guidelines, and if the department had contemplated the transactions that had taken place before or after the grant of license, particularly related to the loss of revenue to the government, he said.
The spokesman said the Commission would recommend measures which might be taken to meet the ends of justice, in order to take corrective action to prevent loss of revenue to the public exchequer and also prevention of private enrichment at the cost of the public exchequer.
The one-man commission, headed by retired Delhi high court judge SN Dhingra, has been recently constituted to consider complaints given by different individuals, magazines, political parties and also the CAG reports on the subject.
It would submit findings and recommendations to meet the ends of justice, particularly relating to allegations of criminal conspiracy, criminal misconduct and private enrichment, if any, and the role of public servants and private individuals, he said.
The headquarter of the Commission of Inquiry would be at Gurgaon, he added.
