2 Sanction had allowed CBI to prosecute former CM Ashok Chavan. Former Maharashtra Chief Minister and Congress leader Ashok Chavan will not be prosecuted in the high-profile Adarsh Housing Society scam case, at least for now, the Bombay High Court ruled today. Maharashtra Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao had earlier given his sanction to prosecute Chavan, who was asked by the Congress party to resign as CM after being implicated in the housing scam. Chavan resigned as chief minister in 2010 after getting embroiled in the Adarsh scam. WATCH | Adarsh housing society scam: Defence Ministry indicts 10 senior Army officers in report
