CHANDIGARH: The Haryana government has still not implemented the order of whistleblower IAS officer Ashok Khemka, cancelling the mutation of Robert Vadra-DLF land deal on October 15. And now Gurgaon deputy commissioner PC Meena has sought advice from the Hooda government on Khemka's order, which claimed the mutation was not sanctioned by a "competent" authority. Meena, in his letter, has also justified the land deal and claimed that the mutation order was also cleared by a "competent" authority.

Khemka had ordered a probe into all land dealings of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Vadra on October 11 and was issued transfer orders by the Haryana government within hours of doing so.

Haryana's additional chief secretary Krishna Mohan on Sunday confirmed that the government had received Meena's letter. "We'll put this letter before the committee inquiring into the issue," said Mohan, who is heading the three-member probe panel.

Khemka had set aside the mutation of Vadra-DLF deal on the grounds that the assistant consolidation officer, who had sanctioned the change of title in the revenue records, was not the competent authority to do so.

A senior officer in the revenue department said, "Meena has said that the mutation of Vadra's land in favour of DLF, which was executed by an assistant consolidation officer on September 20, was correct, because thousands of such land mutation orders were cleared by assistant consolidation officers in the state."

Asked why the Vadra-DLF land mutation was not cancelled following Khemka's order, chief secretary P K Chaudhery said, "A committee has been constituted which is looking into the aspects related to this (Khemka) order and other matters."

On the validity of Khemka's order, Anupam Gupta, a senior advocate in Chandigarh, said, "Khemka cancelled the mutation on behalf of the government. He represented and acted as the highest statutory authority under the respective laws. The parties adversely affected by the cancellation of the mutation are Vadra and DLF. If they have any grievance, they should challenge Khemka's order before the Punjab and Haryana high court. How can the state government claim to be aggrieved by Khemka's order if Vadra and DLF are not?"

Gupta added, "Any such action by the government would be testimony to the patronage extended by it to Vadra and DLF."
