Patra Commission completes inquiry into disproportionate assets allegations against CM and former Ministers

GANGTOK, 20 Nov: The Patra Enquiry Commission has completed its inquiry into the disproportionate assets case against 13 sitting and former Ministers including Chief Minister Pawan Chamling. Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee [SPCC] had leveled these allegations following which the State had set up the Commission of Enquiry under former Justice RK Patra.
The Commission is expected to submit its report to the State government in the first week of December 2013.
The Chief Minister had deposed himself before the Patra Commission on 29 November 2012 and on 29 August earlier this year to complete procedures of inquiry into the allegations for misuse of power, corruption and disproportionate assets.
However, one of the former Congress leaders, JB Darnal had challenged the appointment of Justice Patra as Inquiry Commission stating that the complaints were filed with the CBI after the Supreme Court had been petitioned.
