What is really happening inside the Tata Group? The Tata Sons-Tata Trusts dispute has now turned into a major legal and corporate governance battle. At the centre is N Chandrasekaran’s reappointment as Tata Sons Chairman, which was approved by the board despite Tata Trusts Chairman Noel Tata voting against it. Tata Trusts has questioned the validity of the decision, while Tata Sons says the reappointment was legally valid and has cited three legal opinions, including those of former CJI U.U. Lalit and former Supreme Court judge B.N. Srikrishna. The dispute also brings the future of Tata Sons’ listing and the RBI’s regulatory requirements into focus. In this Business Today special, senior lawyer Hitesh Jain breaks down what happened, what the Tata Sons Articles of Association actually say, how much power Tata Trusts has, and what could happen next in this high-stakes legal battle.
