The Maharashtra Cabinet will on Thursday deliberate on a judicial commission report on the Adarsh scam, days after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi publicly disapproved its decision to reject the report.
The Maharashtra government had on December 20 rejected the report of the judicial commission of inquiry on the Adarsh scam, tabled in the Legislative Assembly.
The report of the two-member commission headed by retired High Court judge JA Patil 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. The panel found 25 of the society’s 102 members ineligible and 22 cases of benami purchase of flats.
