CBI registers Preliminary Enquiry in Adarsh
CBI today registered a Preliminary Enquiry (PE) in Mumbai Housing Society scam in connection with the alleged role of former and serving Army officers, apparently not exercising the option of a regular case for the moment.
A CBI spokesman said in a statement today that a PE had been registered against unknown people on a complaint by the Defence Ministry.
Defence Minister A K Antony had on Tuesday last announced a CBI probe into the scam involving Adarsh Cooperative Housing Society in which some senior military officers including former army chiefs Gen Deepak Kapoor and Gen N C Vij and ex-naval chief Admiral Madhavendra Singh had flats allotted in their names. The three ex-chiefs have since said they are surrendering their flats.
“After PE, if prima facie evidence of criminality is found, regular case will be registered,” the CBI spokesman said.
Antony says irregularities did take place in Adarsh Society
Prima facie there were “irregularities” in construction of Adarsh Housing Society in Mumbai, which include issuance of ‘No Objection Certificate’ by Army and grant of the society membership to civilians, Defence Minister A K Antony told the Lok Sabha today.
He said the CBI has been entrusted with the inquiry to get the matter thoroughly investigated and responsibilities fixed.
Adarsh Cooperative Housing Society (ACHS) had sought land from Maharashtra government for the welfare of serving and retire personnel. “Prima facie there have been irregularities,” Antony said in a written reply to questions.
“Some issues of concern in this regard include issue of NOC by the Army to inter alia alienate the land in its possession in favour of the ACHS; by-passing the Coastal Regulation Zone and disregard to security concerns of the defence services,” he added.
