Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's stand that a copy of the Justice G Sivarajan Commission report cannot be given before it was tabled in the state assembly was "unfortunate", Chandy told reporters here.
"I am not asking for the report on the presumption that it will be favourable to us ... Only if we get a copy of the report, we will know what allegations have been made against us, the circumstantial evidences and statements on the basis of which the government had decided to proceed against us," he said.
Indicating that the report had been leaked, Chandy asked, "How did CPI(M) leader T K Hamsa get to know of the report's details a day before the chief minister briefed the media on the government's decisions on the commission report?"
"Hamsa had clearly said six people were accused in the case," Chandy said.

The senior Congress leader had yesterday written to the state government to give him a copy of the report on the basis of which the LDF government had ordered a vigilance and SIT probe against Chandy, two of his former ministerial colleagues and two former legislators.
The Justice Sivarajan commission was appointed by the previous Chandy government after allegations surfaced that several people were duped of crores of rupees by the prime accused in the case Saritha S Nair and Biju Radhakrishnan, who offered them solar panel solutions.
Announcing the probe, Vijayan had said a criminal case would be registered and an Special Investigation Team would probe allegations of rape levelled by Nair against some politicians in her July 17, 2013 letter.
According to the commission, a vigilance case should be registered against former power minister Aryadan Mohammed, as he had helped Nair's Team Solar company illegally.
Some Congress state ministers, MPs and MLAs were named by Nair in the letter written by her when she was behind bars in connection with the solar scam.
