May 24, 2012 14:43

In other news, in a U-turn, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan today told the two-member inquiry commission probing the Adarsh housing society scam he is ready to appear before it on June 30.

Chavan, an accused in the Adarsh case, also being probed by the CBI, had on May 22 sought exemption from appearance before the judicial panel, saying his evidence would have been relevant only on issues of ownership of the land on which the 31-storey building stands and whether it was reserved for Kargil widows and war heroes. The two issues have already been decided by the panel.
