Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan on Friday announced that the report of the A.T.A.K. Shaikh judicial commission, which was appointed to probe the alleged irregularities of the Wakf land, would be made public in the next one month. Mr Chavan said that the preparation of the Action To Be Taken Report (ATR) is in progress and would be completed soon.
He also assured that the state would decide further course of action based on the commission report. The CM was replying to the demand for a CBI probe raised by the members in the state Assembly, who alleged massive irregularities in the state Wakf board on Thursday.
BJP legislator Devendra Fadnavis and NCP legislator Nawab Malik claimed that the arrest of the former CEO of the state Wakf board, N.D. Pathan, had proved their allegations.
Mr Chavan informed the House that the commission’s report was submitted to the government in April 2011, but was destroyed in the Mantralaya inferno, which gutted all the top four floors of the building. The process of preparation of the ATR was re-started after the government obtained a certified copy of the report from the commission,” the CM said, adding, “The state would take appropriate action against the guilty.”
Meanwhile, minister of minority affairs and Wakf Arif Naseem Khan said that the state had decided to appoint a retired judge as the CEO of the Wakf board. “We have also announced a probe into the transactions made by Pathan during his tenure of more than two years,” he added.
