Even as Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan has sought information on the row over the allotment of prime land to Adarsh Co-operative Housing Society, it has now emerged that the members include his late mother-in-law Bhagwati Manoharlal Sharma.

The name of Sharma, who died in July here, appears in the official list submitted by the society whose beneficiaries include former services chiefs, politicians and bureaucrats, according to revenue and society officials.

Bhagwati Manoharlal Sharma, 77, passed away at 'Varsha', the chief minister's official residence in July.

Chavan was unavailable for comment.

A controversy has erupted over how the Adarsh society in Colaba, originally meant to be a six-storey structure to house Kargil war heroes and widows, got converted into a 31-storey building.

The highrise is built on 6,450 sq metres within the Colaba naval area and was cleared on the condition of housing war veterans but now has 104 members including senior army commanders, a former environment minister, legislators and state bureaucrats.

Former chief secretary DK Sankaran's son, Sanjoy, is among the allottees.

Mumbai collector Chandrashekhar Oke, who was asked to submit a comprehensive report on the status of the building land, has submitted a preliminary report which will help resolve the issue of whether the land belongs to the defence or the state revenue department.
