Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan has been asked to appear before the two-member inquiry commission probing the Adarsh Housing Society Scam in Mumbai next Wednesday. This was informed today by Saket Mone, advocate of Adarsh Housing Society.

The commission, headed by former Bombay High Court judge J A Patil, had been formed by the state government to probe the scam-tainted Adarsh Housing Society in South Mumbai.

Chavan, who will be cross-examined by the commission, will have to answer all the allegations against him. Chavan is accused of recommending 40 per cent allotment of flats in the Adarsh Housing Society, originally meant for Kargil war widows, to civilians. Chavan is also facing allegations that his relatives got flats in the society.
