HC to examine Haryana plot allotment scam

A three-member committee, headed by a retired judge of the high court, will examine all aspects of the multiple plot allotment scam in which residential plots in the Haryana government’s developed sectors across state were allotted on the basis of forged affidavits. The committee will start functioning from June 1. The committee is expected to examine allotment of around three lakh plots, which were allotted by the HUDA in the last several years, according to sources. The committee will have Justice Rameshwar Singh Malik, a retired judge of the Punjab and Haryana high court as its chairman. Retired district and sessions judge G S Saran and retired IPS officer S S Sidhu are the other members of this committee.
