Around a fortnight after Dera Sacha Sauda's sanitisation was carried out under scrutiny of a retired judicial officer, the Punjab and Haryana High Court today made it clear that the Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax Department would look into its report to check for violations.

 As a petition filed in public interest on the issue came up for resumed hearing, a Full Bench said the sanitisation report would be handed over to the Union of India, the state and the CBI. 

The Bench also asked the Haryana Government to look into a media report stating that successive governments had extended favours to facilitate constructions in the dera. 

It called for a probe into alleged exemptions given by the Haryana Government to the dera by declaring it a separate village in the revenue records. The Bench was told that the Hooda and Khattar governments had extended favours to Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in regularising illegal constructions. 

The Bench also asked the Haryana Government to make clear its stand whether any movable property was removed from the Sirsa-based dera before inspection was carried out by the Court Commissioner. 

Referring to the damage to private and public properties in the riots that ensued conviction of the dera chief, the Bench asked both Punjab and Haryana to set up compensation tribunals, which would submit reports to the High Court. 

Among other things, the tribunals to be set up on the judicial side would look into the damage to private and public properties, besides perceptible and imperceptible damage as a result of the violence. 

The Bench also asked the special investigation team of the Haryana Police to look into FIRs registered in Sirsa in case of missing persons. The Court Commissioner was expected to submit his report on search and seizure when the case would come up on November 9.
