Venkataswami Commission gets another extension

Venkataswami Commission, probing allegations made by Tehelka news portal on corruption in defence deals, was granted a second extension for another four months on Friday.

The Commission, whose first extension runs out on Saturday, has been granted second extension till March 24, 2002, official sources said.

The Commission had sought another extension of its tenure with crucial witnesses like Defence Minister George Fernandes, former Samata party president Jaya Jaitly and former BJP president Bangaru Laxman yet to be examined.

Set up nearly eight months ago, the Commission headed by the retired judge of the Supreme Court began its hearings in June, and was asked to submit its report within four months.
