Mukesh and Nita Ambani's residence, Antilia, faces legal scrutiny over its land's origins. The Maharashtra Waqf Board asserts that the 4,532 sq. mt. plot was originally intended for an orphanage, donated by Currimbhoy Ebrahim in 1895. In 2002, this land was sold to Antilia Commercial Pvt Ltd for ₹21 crore, significantly below its market value of ₹150 crore, without proper authorization from the Waqf Board. The sale's legitimacy has been contested, with claims of procedural violations and unauthorized approvals. The Supreme Court is currently deliberating on the matter, and a ruling could potentially impact the Ambanis' occupancy of Antilia. (PC: India Today)
