Adarsh Cbi Probe

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday directed CBI to conduct further probe into the 'benami' flats in the scam-tainted Adarsh building even as the agency said it has already completed investigation and submitted its charge sheet two years back.

The Bombay High Court today directed CBI to conduct further probe into the 'benami' flats in the scam-tainted Adarsh building even as the agency said it has already completed investigation and submitted its charge sheet two years back.

Expressing dissatisfaction with the report submitted by CBI in connection with its probe into benami flats in the scam-tainted Adarsh building, the Bombay High Court today said the document was silent on the points specifically raised by the court during the last hearing.

After the Maharashtra Cabinet recommended to Governor C Vidyasagar Rao that he grant sanction to CBI to prosecute Ashok Chavan in the Adarsh scam, the former Chief Minister today alleged that the BJP was pressurising the probe agency to implicate him in the high-profile case.

The chairman of Madhya Pradesh High Court Bar Association, advocate Adarsh Munni Trivedi, who had in the past represented petitioners seeking a CBI probe in Vyapam scam, on Wednesday could not appear before the High Court here as he took ill and his family suspected an attempt at food poisoning.

In a shift from its earlier stand that the CBI had no jurisdiction to probe the Adarsh housing society scam, the Maharashtra government on Wednesday told the Bombay High Court that it had no objection to a special CBI court "looking into" the case if the investigation was over.

The Central Bureau of Investigation has completed its probe in the multi-crore Adarsh Society scam with the agency filing a second supplementary charge sheet in a special CBI court last month.

The officers who led probe in the AgustaWestland helicopter scam, Adarsh Housing scam and CPM leader Ajit Sarkar's murder case are among 20 CBI officials who have won police medals for meritorious service on the occasion of Independence day.

Defence Minister AK Antony on Saturday asserted that the land in the city on which the controversial Adarsh Society stands belongs to the Defence ministry.

Two years after the Adarsh society scam broke out, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is likely to file the chargesheet in the case today. The probe agency was supposed to file it by June 15, but had asked for more time.

In fresh trouble for members of the scam-tainted Adarsh Housing Society, which is already under CBI probe, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued notices to the Society and its members asking them to furnish information regarding payment towards the purchase of flats.

The special CBI court, which rejected the bail pleas of the seven accused in the Adarsh Housing Society case last week, has observed that involvement of high-profile persons affected the pace of the probe.

The Special Director of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) will be present in the Bombay High Court today to update the court on the investigations in the tainted Adarsh society land scam.

The CBI on Tuesday arrested four people, including former Maharashtra Congress legislator Kanhaiyalal V. Gidwani, his son, a tax consultant and a lawyer of the probe agency, in a graft case linked to the Adarsh society scam investigation, an official said.

In what seems to be a reminder of the Adarsh Housing Society scam in Mumbai, a shocking case of fraudulent sale of Defence land has come to light - this time in the highly-sensitive area of Srinagar. NDTV has exclusively accessed documents that reveal how land at the high-security Srinagar airfield has been on sale for the last four years.
