The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) dismissed Mr Mistry's plea challenging his removal as Tata Sons chairman in 2016. The tribunal did not find any merit in legacy issues raised by Mr Mistry against Tata Sons.
Mr Mistry said that he was disappointed with the verdict and "an appeal on merits will be pursued" against the ruling.
In his plea, Mr Mistry had said that his removal as Tata Sons' chairman was illegal. He had also alleged mismanagement at Tata Sons, oppression of minority shareholders, a breakdown of corporate governance and excessive interference by Tata Trusts.
Meanwhile, in afternoon trade, the S&P BSE Sensex traded higher by 286.50 points at 35,944.36 and the broader Nifty50 was above 10,850 level.
