Noel Tata seeks the video and minutes of the meeting that reappointed Chandrasekaran (opens the source in a new tab)
- In a September 30 letter, the Tata Trusts chairman asked the Tata Sons board for the recording and minutes of its September 17 meeting, executives said.
- He says he wasn’t given enough time to present former CJI DY Chandrachud’s view that the chairman’s casting vote can’t override the trust nominees’ affirmative rights.
- He also questions why the board obtained two more opinions after the vote, from former CJI UU Lalit and retired Justice BN Srikrishna; both upheld it.
- 4–1
- board vote, Sept 17
- 5 years
- new chairman term
- 2
- opinions after vote
Why it matters The fight over Tata’s top job has moved from boardroom to lawyers.
Other side Three legal opinions back the vote, and an independent lawyer says a director has no unfettered right to a board video. Is this governance, or a lost vote relitigated?
