Bombay High Court orders demolition of Adarsh Housing Society
The Adarsh Housing Society is a posh, 31-storey building constructed on prime land in Colaba, Mumbai, which was earmarked for the welfare of war widows and India’s Ministry of Defence personnel.
It was alleged that politicians, bureaucrats and military officers flouted rules regarding land ownership, zoning, floor space index and membership to get themselves flats allotted in this cooperative society at below-market rates.
Former Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan quit his post in November 2010. The CBI had charge-sheeted Chavan and 12 others in the Adarsh scam in July 2012.
It has also been alleged that Chavan's relatives got flats in Adarsh Housing Society.
