The Maharashtra Government has sought an interim report from the inquiry panel set up to probe the scam-tainted Adarsh Housing Society in Mumbai. The state government has filed an application before the two-member inquiry commission, seeking an interim report on two of the 13 issues being looked into by the judicial panel.The two issues include ownership of the land in south Mumbai, on which the 31-storey Adarsh building stands and secondly, whether the land was reserved to house the Kargil war widows and their relatives. The commission, headed by retired Justice J A Patil, will hear the application on the 24th of this month.The commission was set up by the state government in January last year, soon after the scam had come to light. While the panel was to complete its probe within three months, its term has been extended from time to time. The panel now has to submit its report by May this year.
