HC rejects ex-Maharashtra CM's prosecution in Adarsh scam

Bombay High Court on Friday set aside Maharashtra Governor's 2016 sanction to prosecute former Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan in the Adarsh Housing Society scam. The bench, which was hearing Chavan's petition against the sanction, ruled that though the CBI claimed to have fresh evidence against Chavan at the time of seeking the sanction, it "failed to present any fresh evidence".
