Noel Tata prepares for court battle over Chandrasekaran's reappointment

Tata Trusts, the largest shareholder with a 66 per cent stake in Tata Sons, is preparing for a court battle, if required, to challenge the resolution on reappointment of N Chandrasekaran as executive chairman of the Tata group holding company for another five years once his current term ends in February 2027. Sources said Tata Trusts is weighing multiple legal options. Senior Supreme Court advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, in a social media post on Sunday, said he had entered the fray on the Tata dispute, indicating that a legal process may be fast-tracked. While exploring legal options, Tata Trusts continues to argue its case out of court. In a statement on Sunday, it reiterated that the resolution on Chandrasekaran's reappointment lacked validity. The Trusts said that the Articles of Association (AoA) of Tata Sons do not leave any decision of the board to a mere head count of directors.
