The two-member Adarsh Commission probing the Adarsh society scam had issued notice to Shinde on June 23 to appear before it as a witness in the case.

Former Chief Ministers Vilasrao Deshmukh and Ashok Chavan are scheduled to appear as witness on June 27 and June 30, respectively, before the Commission.
