The ouster of Mistry could be challenged based on the Oct. 24 resolution passed by the Tata Trusts, sources said. NDTV Profit accessed the resolution which gives life term to the present trustees.
The resolution says, “The Trustees recognise that they are all equally responsible, charged with public duty and specifically tasked by Mr Ratan N Tata. To this end, they resolve that on the expiry of tenure of any Trustee, that Trustee will be reappointed by the concerned Trust without any limit being attached to the period of tenure of such re-appointment, and in accordance with law.”
Tata Trusts has been locked in an internal conflict over the nomination of a director to the Tata Sons board.
"The rift at Tata Trusts would impact strategic decisions at Tata Sons. On a day-to-day basis, Tata Sons is unlikely to be disrupted but strategic decisions will be affected," Shriram Subramanian, managing director and founder InGovern, told NDTV Profit.
"Tata Trust has been operating well except for the current issue. The issue will not impact Tata Trust's governance. In the interim the functioning of Tata Trusts will be smooth, even if contested," said Abizer Diwanji, founder of Neostrat Advisors LLP.
