Adarsh Society scam – CBI will Question the Former Chief Minister –
Ashok Chavan and 103 members -
CBI will question all the 103 members of the Adarsh housing society
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is likely to question former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan in connection with the Adarsh Housing Society scam.
The CBI's preliminary inquiry found that the land belongs to the defence.
The CBI, which had on November 15 registered a Preliminary Enquiry (PE) in the scam
CBI officials on Nov 16 met Maharashtra chief secretary JP Dange and asked him to submit all essential documents and papers regarding the housing scam as soon as possible.
Still CBI has not filed the First Information Report in this scam.
This will happen only after filing of FIR.
In Next 1 or 2 weeks it is expected that CBI will file the FIR regarding this scam.
The FIR would be against personnel from the defence and state government (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
As per media reports CBI would examine whether Ashok Chavan signed a letter recommending 40 per cent allotment of flats to civilians in the Adarsh Housing Society. When he was Revenue Minister.
Also, if the occupancy certificate (OC) was issued to the society when he was the Chief Minister.
The CBI would also question Chavan on the flats owned in the society by his mother- in-law, sister- in- law and one more relative, on whether he knew about the purchase deals and if he was aware of the correspondence they had with the society.
These members would be questioned on the income tax details submitted by them while purchasing flats, on when and how they bought them and on their correspondence with the society and departments of the state government

you know, when I quoted the adarsh society scam in my lecture, the students had not even heard about it! they knew that CM is changed but were unaware about the reasons!
Neha,,
thanks.
ignorance is one of the reasons for political corruption.
I agree. and they all turned/will turn 18! first year B com students. they will vote tomorrow! what else do we expect now! few more corrupts and it will go on and on. there will be many chawans, rajas and kalmadis!
There is corruption everywhere - some very sophisticated and well hidden. I applaud those who investigate, often at personal risk.
Neha,,
thanks.
jabblog,,
thanks.
The scams tumbling out everyday are really disheartening. But, just by suspending ministers is not enough, prosecution is the key!
After the scam was 'exposed' they say that only 9 stories were approved and the extra stories are illegal and talking of demolishing them! Again 'demolishing' scam!
My nieces who are in college now, don't know anything about any scams, about the new Maharashtra CM, Nitish Kumar...nothing. They are not interested in reading newspapers too and immersed in their own world. My sons were reading the Sports page earlier, now internet and TV have replaced them!
I am not sure when the scams stop.
A time will come when politicians will capture videos of their scam and distribute them signifying that they are free of being tortured or taunted. There will be no fear, no reaction.

SM,
Informative post once more. I don't know if it is not your blog, where else we will find this kind of information.
A,,
thanks.
CRZ the Coastal Regulation Zone, 1991 rules allow construction up to nine floors, but regarding Adarsh Housing Cooperative Society 31 floors are liable to be demolished since the Society did not take the approval mandated under the 1991 rules.
As per rule book the building should be demolished as fast as possible
But Problem in India is that
Now a days everyone is doing illegal job if found they do something and later it becomes legal.
Like pay nominal fine as good as nothing, even approach SC and get it done illegal on social grounds or anything.
Everything is possible in India.
Now they are planning to file a case challenging the law itself.
Hope SC will reject it and fine them for wasting time of SC.
