Maharashtra cabinet has decided to accept the recommendations of the report, though only partially
Maharashtra government that was 'forced' to re-consider the judicial panel report on Adarsh housing society scam, on Thursday partially accepted the report and decided to form a committee to decide upon further action.
Last week, Rahul Gandhi, the vice-president of Congress while asking Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan to re-consider the Adarsh report, had said that he did not agree with the state government's decision to reject the judicial commission's report.
Last month, the Maharashtra government rejected the report of the judicial commission of inquiry on the Adarsh housing society scam that indicted several politicians including three former chief ministers for blatant violations of statutory provisions. The report of the two-member commission headed by retired high court judge JA Patil came down heavily on those in authority describing the scam as a bad precedent.
The report of the two-member commission indicted several politicians including four former chief ministers — Ashok Chavan, late Vilasrao Deshmukh, Sushilkumar Shinde and Shivajirao Nilangekar Patil — for blatant violations of statutory provisions. Several bureaucrats were also indicted in the report.
While accepting the report in parts, Chavan-led Congress government accepted quid pro quo allegations against former chief minister Ashok Chavan. On the other hand, it gave clean chit to former chief ministers, Sushilkumar Shinde and late Vilasrao Deshmukh and ministers , Sunil Tatkare and Rajesh Tope.
The state government has decided to send cancellation notice to 25 flat owners from the Adarsh Society and said, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) would prosecute those holding benami flats in the building.
