Adarsh Judicial Commission: Land belonged to Government not the Army

The Judicial Commission set up by the Maharashtra government to probe into the Adarsh Housing Society scam, on 17 April 2012 held that the land on which the Adarsh building was constructed, belonged to the state government and not the Army. An interim report was prepared by the two-member Commission, was tabled and distributed in the Assembly.

The interim report of the judicial commission probing the Adarsh Society Scam said that the land was not reserved for war heroes and Kargil widows. The interim report  held that the ministry of defence failed to establish their claim of title to the Adarsh Society land and the claim of government of Maharashtra stands established.

The commission was set up by the Government under N N Kumbahar in January 2011 after the scam surfaced.
