Adarsh report to be submitted
After nine extensions, the Adarsh judicial commission, constituted to investigate the Adarsh Society scam, is likely to submit its final report this week. If the report is submitted this week, it could be tabled before the state Legislature, which is in session till April 18.
Three months after the scam came to light, in January 2011 the state government set up a two-member commission to probe the Adarsh scam, and comprises retired Justice J.A. Patil and former chief secretary of state P. Subramanium.
The commission has taken nearly 28 months to examine over 40 witnesses, mostly bureaucrats and politicians, including former CM Ashok Chavan, late Vilasrao Deshmukh and Union minister Sushilkumar Shinde. The final report is expected to comment on the alleged roles of all these former chief ministers of the state.
“The final report is likely to be submitted this week. The commission has not been given any deadline by the government. Efforts are on to complete the report and submit it this week,” an official related to the commission said, on condition of anonymity.
The commission had last year submitted an interim report, in favour of the state government.
