Several others played prominent roles during the high-stakes Tata Sons-Cyrus Mistry litigation. Singhvi and Salve, who emerged as principal courtroom faces for the Tata side, have now been split into opposite camps, while Mukul Rohatgi was also associated with representing Tata interests during phases of the corporate battle, is now with the Noel Tata-led camp. The litigation culminated in a March 2021 Supreme Court judgment that broadly upheld Tata Sons' position, including its governance decisions and private-company status.
