Tata Trusts Row: Mehli Mistry Challenges Trustee Decision | Legal Battle Begins

Nov 03, 2025, 06:26 PM IST

A recent development concerning a trustee appointment has led to a legal challenge at the charity commissioner's office. The matter revolves around a resolution passed by Tata Trusts on October 17, 2024, stipulating that trustees would be reappointed for life without tenure limits, subject to a unanimity clause. This condition requires every trustee to be in favor of a reappointment. In a specific instance, a 3-3 vote occurred regarding a trustee's reappointment, with three trustees supporting and three opposing, creating a deadlock. Krishna Gopalan of Business Today noted that 'Mistri believes that he's been wronged' and has consequently pursued legal recourse by filing a caveat with the Maharashtra Charity Commissioner. This situation has brought the sanctity of the unanimity clause under scrutiny, highlighting existing friction among trustees. The legal hearing is expected to prolong the matter, with a potential for reinstatement or permanent ousting being considered. The October 2024 resolution is central to the ongoing legal arguments.

A quiet power struggle is unfolding inside the Tata empire. A year after the passing of Ratan Tata, his long-time confidant Mehli Mistry has reportedly been ousted from the Tata Trusts, the powerful bodies that control a 66% stake in Tata Sons. The trusts — Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Sir Ratan Tata Trust — voted against Mistry’s reappointment, ending his tenure just as the group navigates a crucial leadership transition. With key trustees including Noel Tata, Venu Srinivasan, Vijay Singh, Jehangir HC Jehangir, and Darius Khambata in the mix, the development has deepened internal divisions. Analysts say the move could consolidate Noel Tata’s influence in shaping the future of the Tata Group.
