The inquiry commission set up to probe the Adarsh Housing Society scam on Thursday questioned Maharashtra government's silence on the ownership of the disputed land in south Mumbai.
"Why is the state government not saying anything on ownership of the land? The Army has submitted documents claiming the land belongs to them but the state government is keeping silent. Government should be more concerned and prompt," retired High Court Justice J A Patil, who is heading the two-member commission said.
The matter came to the fore after the Ministry of Defence submitted two 'development plans' showing that the land where the 31-storey Adarsh Society stands at Colaba has been under its ownership even prior to 1937 as per the records. "The two plans show that the land was with the Army even prior to 1937 and hence the society's claims that it had reclaimed the land from the state government in the 1970s cannot be correct," advocate Dhiren Shah, appearing for the Defence Ministry said.
