The society had decided to induct civilians as members in 1999 itself,&#8221; the petition claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">It further states that allotment of land to the society and approval of membership occurred a year after Chavan ceased to be state&#8217;s revenue minister. Chavan&#8217;s mother-in-law Bhagvati Sharma, sister-in-law Seema Sharma and father-in-law&#8217;s brother Madanlal Sharma have flats in the society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">According to CBI, Chavan misused his official position twice &#8211; first as revenue minister and then as chief minister &#8212; to show undue favours to the society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">In its chargesheet, the CBI claimed that Chavan, during his tenure as revenue minister in 2000, met Adarsh society&#8217;s secretary R C Thakur and promoter M M Wanchoo along with former Congress Member of Legislative Council Kanhaiyalal Gidwani.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">&#8220;Soon after the meeting Chavan made a proposal to include 40 per cent civilians as members of the society, which is evident through a letter submitted by the minister to the<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">society,&#8221; the charge sheet says, adding that he had sought inclusion of civilian members for obtaining favours for his close relatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">&#8220;Chavan as chief minister in 2009 proposed that his mother-in-law Bhagvati Sharma and father-in-law&#8217;s brother Madanlal Sharma be made members. Madanlal was not entitled to be allotted a flat as he already owned a flat in Andheri,&#8221; the chargesheet said. Under the society&#8217;s by-laws, only those who did not own an accommodation in the city were eligible for its membership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">According to CBI, Chavan had received Rs 70 lakh from his close associate and builder Jayant Shah&#8217;s son Malav Shah for making payments towards the flats for his relatives in the 31-storey building in south Mumbai. He, however, returned the money soon after the scam surfaced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">The accused including senior retired army officials and bureaucrats have been charged with criminal conspiracy, cheating and criminal misconduct under sections 120(B) and 420 of Indian Penal Code and section 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small;\">The CBI has examined 150 witnesses and attached as many as 161 documents from various departments as evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly two months after he was chargesheeted in the Adarsh housing society scam, former Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan on Monday moved the Bombay high court seeking quashing of the cheating and corruption case registered against him by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
