The Delhi High Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation inquiry into the role of Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and her son in a land deal, PTI reported. The court also rejected the petitioner’s demand for a first information report to be filed against the two.

Lawyer Srijana Shrestha accused Raje and her son of receiving Rs 1.97 crore for selling a piece of government land in Dholpur town to the National Highway Authority of India for a highway widening project in 2010.

The trial court had refused to order an investigation into the allegation, saying the petitioner had not obtained prior sanction as required under the Prevention of Corruption Act. However, Shrestha had told the court that Raje was not a public servant at the time of the alleged offence and was Leader of the Opposition in the Rajasthan Assembly.
