The Supreme Court today asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to respond to a plea by Mumbai-based Adarsh Cooperative Housing Society seeking de-freezing of its bank accounts, which were frozen during the probe into the 2010 Adarsh scam. <br/><br/>A bench comprising Justices J Chelameswar and S Abdul Nazeer asked the probe agency to file its response within two weeks after the counsel appearing for the housing society said they needed money for maintenance of the building.<br/><br/>The Adarsh scam had kicked up a political storm leading to the resignation of the then Congress Chief Minister of<br/>Maharashtra Ashok Chavan. The 31-storey Adarsh apartments was built at Colaba in South Mumbai locality for 1999 Kargil war heroes and war widows.<br/><br/>The Bombay High Court had earlier ordered demolition of the apartments and sought initiation of criminal proceedings against politicians and bureaucrats for alleged misuse of<br/>powers, holding that the tower was illegally constructed.<br/><br/>It had asked the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest to carry out the demolition at the expense of Adarsh Society. <br/><br/>Later, the top court in July last year had said that the Adarsh apartments would not be demolished for the time being and asked the Centre to secure it after taking its possession from the housing society.
