<b>Muslim board lands Infy in trouble </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->If the Andhra Pradesh State Wakf Board is to be believed, all these IT biggies and Indiaâs premier business school have been illegally constructed on its land.
The Wakf Board has now served notices to over half-a-dozen companies including the above-mentioned and has asked the companies to either pay up or vacate the land within three months.

"The claims of the Wakf Board have come very late. Almost a decade has passed, buildings have been constructed and the companies have been doing business at the international level. We will study the basis of Wakf Board's claim,â says Wakf Minister Mohammad Ali Shabbir.
The Wakf Board on its part says it learnt about the encroachments only recently, during an on-going survey of Wakf properties in the state.
The companies are not willing to react on this controversy while APIIC wants to remain silent till it prepares an explanation.
On the other side, Wakf Board has given three options to companies: purchase the land at the present market rate, sign a new lease agreement with the Wakf Board or vacate the land within three months.
