The Maharashtra Chief Minister Mr Prithviraj Chavan today admitted that probe in the Adarsh housing scam has been delayed.

Probe by CBI and the two-man commission appointed by the state government have slowed down, he said.

“CBI was supposed to inquire into the ownership of the land. It has been slowed down,” he told reporters here.

Stating that he would request the Commission, headed by retired High Court Justice Mr J A Patil, to expedite the probe, Mr Chavan admitted it would be difficult to set a time frame.

“The Commission has been given an extension. A time limit cannot be set,” he said.
