Properties worth Rs.7-8 crore acquired within just 3-4 months; Chargesheet Filed against CBI/ED Judge

The State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (SV&ACB), Haryana has filed a detailed chargesheet against suspended CBI/ED Special Judge (Panchkula) Sudhir Parmar, accusing him of favoring top real estate developers — M3M’s Roop Bansal, IREO’s vice-chairman Lalit Goyal, and Vatika Group’s owner Anil Bhalla.

According to the vigilance agency, Parmar and his family acquired properties worth ₹7–8 crore within just 3–4 months, even though they lacked the financial capacity to afford or repay such purchases. They did not have income sources justifying their net worth. The chargesheet was filed in a Panchkula court on October 13, 2025.

Sudhir Parmar took charge as a Special CBI/ED Judge in Panchkula on November 18, 2021. Soon after, in January 2022, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a prosecution complaint against Lalit Goyal of IREO Group for allegedly diverting ₹1,777.48 crore of homebuyers’ funds outside India.

Dealings Between IREO and M3M

During ED’s property attachment proceedings, several collaboration agreements were signed between IREO and M3M:

• 22.6 acres in Sector 61, Gurugram
• 30.2 acres in Sector 58, Gurugram
• Around 78 acres in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan

M3M reportedly paid ₹700–800 crore to IREO for development rights. Audio recordings obtained by SV&ACB suggest that Roop Bansal used Judge Parmar’s influence to pressure Lalit Goyal to register the land in M3M’s name, warning that it could otherwise be attached by the ED.

The chargesheet cites one conversation where Parmar assured that the properties would not be attached, which was later supported by the ED’s order dated October 14, 2022, where these assets were indeed excluded from attachment.

In another recording, Parmar allegedly told someone that he had prevented Roop Bansal from being named an accused in ED cases, and promised to “help him in the CBI case” as well.

Before being posted in Panchkula, Parmar had worked in Gurugram, where he first came into contact with the promoters of M3M and IREO.

His nephew, Ajay, was appointed as Deputy Manager (Legal) at M3M in December 2020 with an annual salary of ₹8–10 lakh. After Parmar became a CBI/ED judge, Ajay’s salary reportedly increased to ₹18–20 lakh.

The chargesheet says Parmar violated professional ethics by discussing pending cases involving M3M and IREO with Roop Bansal at his home on August 12, 2022. During this meeting, Bansal allegedly asked for help in getting ED approval for registering project land. Parmar reportedly replied that he had already spoken to ED officials Saket (Deputy Director), Manoj Mishra, and Sunil Yadav about the matter.

The vigilance bureau also noted that none of the properties covered under the IREO–M3M joint agreements were ever attached by the ED, and therefore, the role of certain ED officials is also being investigated.

Suspicious Property Deals

The bureau alleges that a 327.96 sq. yard plot at Signature Avenue, Sector 82, Gurugram was bought in the name of Parmar’s sister-in-law Pushpa Devi for ₹1.80 crore, while its actual market value was over ₹4.25–4.40 crore.

According to SV&ACB, part of the payment was made through bribe or black money, and Vatika Ltd. unusually accepted post-dated cheques — a practice “never done before except in this case.”

Another audio recording mentions Parmar meeting Lalit Goyal’s wife and his brother-in-law, BJP leader Sudhanshu Mittal, through Anil Bhalla (Vatika). Parmar allegedly told them he couldn’t grant bail but would ensure that Goyal was “treated respectfully” in court.

During a search on April 18, 2023, officials found a draft court order and case notes related to IREO at Parmar’s residence. The documents didn’t come from any official court file, suggesting they were externally prepared to influence the case outcome.

The bureau also uncovered a 10-kanal land parcel along the Pataudi–Gurugram Road at village Sanpka, bought on April 29, 2022, jointly by Parmar’s nephew Ajay, Mohan Lal Sharma, and Sai Transport’s owner Rohit Singh Tomar for just ₹1.01 crore — though the market rate was around ₹6 crore.

A WhatsApp message later confirmed that the actual price was ₹5.3 crore and that one share initially in the judge’s name was later changed to his nephew’s during registration.

Expensive Vehicles and Lifestyle Purchases

During the investigation period, Parmar and his family reportedly bought several high-end vehicles:

• Toyota Fortuner Sigma (March 2023) – ₹47.56 lakh
• Mahindra Thar LX D (August 2022) – ₹18.52 lakh (in nephew’s name)
• Honda Amaze (February 2020) – ₹6.61 lakh (in brother’s name)

Additionally, the construction of Pushpa Devi’s multi-storey house in Gurugram was estimated to cost ₹1.5–2 crore, and a CNG/petrol pump setup another ₹1 crore. The family also took loans worth ₹2.7 crore, according to the vigilance bureau.

Audio Recordings

The vigilance bureau cited several audio clips as evidence. In one of them, Roop Bansal requested the judge’s help for a land registry. Parmar is allegedly heard saying:

“I have spoken to Sunil (ED officer). He said he has passed the message. I also directly told Saket (Deputy Director, ED), who is an IRS officer. If all the documents are proper, you will get the permission.”

The detailed chargesheet by SV&ACB paints a serious picture of corruption, misuse of judicial position, and financial misconduct involving Sudhir Parmar, his family, and several real estate tycoons.
The case also raises questions about the possible involvement of ED officials, as the investigation continues.
