Dubbing the Adarsh Housing Society scam as an "unhappy episode", Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan today said rejection of the inquiry commission report was a decision of the state cabinet.        

"It (Adarsh scam) was not a happy thing to happen. The entire episode, right from the time it happened...to the change of leadership...the whole process of gathering evidence before the commission...all that was an unhappy episode," Chavan told reporters in Mumbai.  

Maharashtra government had yesterday rejected the report of the judicial commission of inquiry on the Adarsh scam it tabled in the Legislative Assembly, which indicted several politicians including four former Chief Ministers of Congress for "blatant violations" of statutory provisions.        

However, refusing to divulge as to what prompted the state government to reject the Adarsh Commission report, which indicted four former chief ministers, including Ashok Chavan, he said it was a decision taken by the cabinet.
