"Yes, a court of inquiry has been ordered in the Adarsh Society episode and certainly Major General R K Hooda
figures among those who will be examined," a senior officer in the Army headquarters here told PTI.
The Army's Pune-based Southern Command headquarters ordered the probe to find out how these officers had issued aNo-Objection Certificate to the private housing society to construct a 31-storeyed complex on a plot in Kolaba.
