Adarsh scam: Maha govt seeks interim report from inquiry panel

February 22, 2012 12:03

A year after an inquiry commission was set up to probe the scam-tainted Adarsh Housing Society, the Maharashtra Government has sought an interim report from the panel.

The state government has filed an application before the two-member inquiry commission, seeking an interim report on two of the 13 issues being looked into by the judicial panel.

The two issues include ownership of the land in south Mumbai, on which the 31-storey Adarsh building stands and secondly, whether the land was reserved to house the Kargil war widows and their relatives.

The commission, headed by retired Justice J A Patil, will hear the application on February 24.
