Harish Salve and Abhishek Manu Singhvi Weigh In on Tata Boardroom Battle
· Business · Indian Express
Senior advocates Harish Salve and Abhishek Manu Singhvi stated that the ongoing governance dispute between Tata Sons and Tata Trusts is likely to shift from the boardroom to a courtroom. Salve is expected to represent Tata Sons, while Singhvi is advising Tata Trusts or Noel Tata in the legal matter. The friction follows a 4-1 board vote approving a five-year term for Chairman N Chandrasekaran, which Noel Tata opposed. Salve described the Tata Group as a critical global institution that must be run by top talent rather than trustees enforcing a specific culture. Meanwhile, Singhvi cited the Supreme Court's 2021 judgment in the Tata-Mistry case, arguing that the ruling upheld the primacy of the Trusts.
Why it matters
