Noel and Neville Tata File Caveat Against Fellow SDTT Trustees
· Business · India Today, PTI
Noel Tata and his son Neville filed a caveat petition in the Mumbai City Civil Court on October 7, 2026, against fellow Sir Dorabji Tata Trust trustees including Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh. The preventive legal filing aims to ensure they receive a hearing before any court orders or relief can be granted against them. The move comes amid a widening dispute over Noel Tata's appointment, his role as a perpetual trustee, and his position as chairman of Tata Trusts. Venu Srinivasan has sought scrutiny of Noel Tata's tenure and restrictions on his voting rights regarding Tata Sons nominees.
