Mumbai: The Maharashtra government said on Monday that it will refer the land deal between the Wakf Board and Antilia Commercial Pvt. Ltd for the south Mumbai plot on which Reliance Industries Ltd. chairman Mukesh Ambani has built his residence to the law ministry.
Ambani bought the 4,532 sq mt plot on Altamount Road in 2002 from the Wakf Board. In 2007, the Maharashtra government said the Wakf Board had no right to sell the land. Mukesh Ambani subsequently paid ₹ 10.6 lakh for a no objection certificate from the board. The Currimbhoy Trust had donated the land to the Wakf Board for running an orphanage.
The law ministry will consider whether the deal should be referred to the Central Bureau of Investigation for further investigation, the minister said.
