The former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Ashok Chavan, on Saturday passed the blame to Union Science and Technology Minister, Vilasrao Deshmukh, for granting permission to the Adarsh housing society.

Jayant Patil, the then Finance Minister, has been sent a notice asking him to provide an affidavit in the matter by July 6.

Mr. Chavan, alleged said before the Commission on Saturday, he was not informed that the land was required for a cooperative housing society for the welfare of serving and retired persons from the defence services.

He also claimed to have ‘never seen’ another letter that the Society’s chief promoter wrote to him on January 13, 2000, stating that the possession of the land was with the local Army unit.
