The CBI, in an affidavit filed before the Bombay High Court, has said that the agency has already looked into the role of Shivajirao Patil Nilangekar but found no material or evidence to suggest any criminal misconduct on his part
"The role of Shivajirao Patil Nilangekar and others in relation to Adarsh has already been looked into. The material unearthed during the course of investigation did not warrant action against them (Nilangekar and others) and, therefore, they are not included as accused in the charge sheet," the CBI affidavit said.
"With regard to role of Nilangekar as revenue minister, the investigation carried out by CBI earlier did not find any prosecutable evidence against him to arraign him as an accused,"
There is no material on hand to suggest that Nilangekar extended undue favours to the society and that his son-in-law was allotted flat as quid pro quo
The affidavit was filed in reply to an application of social activist Pravin Wategaonkar, seeking Patil-Nilangekar to be arraigned as accused in the case.
The CBI in its affidavit said that probe into benami transactions was still in progress.
"Further investigations with regard to financial transactions involving K L Gidwani (former MLA and promoter of Adarsh) and Arun Dhawle, son-in-law of Shivajirao Patil Nilangekar, while acquiring flats and the flow of funds to the account of the society are still in progress," the affidavit filed by S S Giri, investigating officer of CBI, said.
