The plea challenged a trial court order summoning Robert Vadra in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land deal irregularity in Haryana.
May 18, 2026: Robert Vadra on Monday withdrew his petition from the Delhi High Court challenging a trial court order summoning him in a money laundering case related to an alleged land deal irregularity in Shikohpur, Haryana. Justice Manoj Jain recorded the withdrawal after Vadra’s counsel informed the court that the petitioner no longer wished to pursue the matter.
The move came shortly after the Enforcement Directorate opposed Vadra’s petition, arguing that it was based on incorrect legal submissions. Vadra’s legal team had contended that the offences cited under the IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act were not scheduled offences under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) at the time of the alleged transactions between 2008 and 2012.
The case concerns a 3.53-acre land parcel in Shikohpur, Gurugram, allegedly purchased by Vadra’s company Sky Light Hospitality from Onkareshwar Properties in 2008. The ED has alleged fraudulent declarations in the transaction and claimed that the land was later sold to DLF at a higher value after obtaining a commercial licence through influence. The agency had earlier attached 43 immovable properties worth around ₹37.64 crore under the PMLA investigation.
