The court had on September 2 this year refused to accept a report submitted by CBI and had said the agency had not applied its mind in respect to issues raised in the PIL.
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday expressed dissatisfaction with the report submitted by CBI in connection with its probe into 'benami' flats in the scam-tainted Adarsh building.
A division bench of Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Amjad Sayed said the document was silent on the points specifically raised by the court during the last hearing. The bench has now asked the Additional Solicitor General to appear before the court on the next hearing. Activist Pravin Wategaonkar had moved court alleging that senior bureaucrats and politicians held 'benami' (proxy) flats in the Adarsh building, which was a quid-pro-quo for clearing files related to the society in violation of several norms.
The court had on September 2 this year refused to accept a report submitted by CBI and had said the agency had not applied its mind in respect to issues raised in the PIL. On High Court's order, a second report was filed by the agency.
Wategaonkar had sought disclosure of names of two top officers of the Maharashtra government who had dealt with Adarsh files and allegedly obtained benami flats. He claimed that when CBI arrested one of the promoters of Adarsh society, Kanhaiyalal Gidwani in 2011, the remand papers claimed that they needed Gidwani's custody because he held benami flats for a Congress leader. Gidwani's family members owned a total of 10 flats in Adarsh. His sons owned three flats while in respect of other flats. However, the source of money and real ownership was not clear, the plea had said.
It has alleged that two of these flats were meant for high-profile members of the government who helped clear the 31-storey building which was originally meant for Kargil war widows. However, many of the flats were allotted illegally to bureaucrats and politicians.
