However, the court has a left window of four weeks for Tata Sons to appeal at the Supreme Court. As it seems right now, the salt-to-software conglomerate, which also owns companies like the luxury car maker Jaguar Land Rover and the British tea brand Tetley is in no mood to give up. "It is not clear as to how the NCLAT Order seeks to over-rule the decisions taken by shareholders of Tata Sons and listed Tata operating companies at validly constituted shareholder meetings. The NCLAT order appears to even go beyond the specific reliefs sought by the Appellant," the company’s spokesperson told Business Insider. But Mistry sees this as a clear win. "Today's victory is not a personal victory for me, but is a victory for the principles of good governance and minority shareholder rights," he said a statement shared with the press. The Tata vs Mistry battle is far from over Within two months of his dismissal, Mistry’s family-run investment firms approached the NCLT. Mistry’s primary argument was that his removal as chairman of Tata Sons violated the Companies Act by forcing him to leave without ‘due process’ being followed and also accused the Board of ‘oppression and mismanagement’. While the lower court, the NCLT, had turned down Mistry’s appeal, today’s victory at the appellate tribunal gives Mistry a second chance to prove his charges against the Board and Ratan Tata. "The outcome of the appeal is a vindication of my stand taken when the board of Tata Sons, without warning or reason removed me, first as executive chairman, and subsequently as director of Tata Sons," he said. One of India’s biggest corporate disputes may be tested at the country’s highest court soon.

As Mistry returns to power, the current executive chairman of the company — N Chandra — might have to look for a new job. Mistry served as Tata Sons chairman just shy of four years before the board removed him from the helm in October 2016. His net worth is currently at $10 billion. Here’s a quick look at Mistry’s journey from being the son of a construction tycoon to leading Tata Sons a second time:

The volatile fortunes of low-profile Cyrus Mistry who was made the Chairman of Tata Sons only to be ousted soon after — now he’s fighting his way back

New Delhi, Jan 3 () Ratan Tata on Friday filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking to quash a company law appellate court order directing Tata Sons to rehire the chairman it had fired in 2016, saying the judgment was "wrong, erroneous and contrary to the record of the case".
His petition is separate from the one filed by Tata Sons Ltd, the holding company of the USD 110 billion salt-to-software conglomerate, in the Supreme Court on Thursday that sought a stay on the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal's December 18, 2019 order to reinstate Cyrus Mistry as the chairman.
Ratan Tata, who is chairman emeritus and a shareholder of Tata Sons, in the petition said the NCLAT judgment was wrong as it treats Tata Sons as a two-group company.
Mistry, he contended, was made the Executive Chairman of Tata Sons in a purely professional capacity and not as a representative of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, which holds 18.4 per cent in Tata Sons.
Tata Trusts, of whom Ratan Tata had been a chairman for many years, holds 65.89 per cent of Tata Sons.
The petition said the NCLAT order wrongly suggests that "someone from the SP Group had been a director because of some entrenched right or convention".
"This is untrue and contrary to the records and the articles of association of Tata Sons, which are undisputed and binding on the shareholders including the SP Group," he contended.
He said Mistry's leadership "was lacking" in "his reluctance to timely and meaningfully disassociate himself from his family business after he became the Chairman of Tata Sons and address any conflict in this regard, which was a condition precedent to his appointment as Chairman of Tata Sons".
Mistry, he alleged, "concentrated power and authority in his own hands" and "board members were being alienated on matters relating to Tata Operating Companies where Tata Sons had huge financial exposure and the Board of Tata Sons had to contend with such decisions being cast upon it as fait accompli".
The chairman emeritus targeted Mistry for the handling of the failed partnership with Japan's DoCoMo saying it showed his "complete obstinacy" as he attempted to resist complying with the legal obligations further. "This is not what the Tata Sons brand stands for. Quite to the contrary, honouring its commitments is one of Tata Sons' highest virtues it takes great pride in. Spat with DoCoMo brought ill-repute and reputational losses to Tata Sons."
Ratan Tata said the NCLAT reached a judgment based on "a contrived and self-serving reading of certain correspondence from which it derives erroneous findings which kaleidoscopically portray the larger theme of the judgment on purported oppression and prejudice to the Shapoorji Pallonji Group (SP Group)".
"The Impugned Judgment is also infirm because it blatantly indulges in propagating a selective narrative where relevant facts and records have been glossed over," he said. "The pretense of reasoning and judicial approach is betrayed by omission to consider the record itself."
He said there are no 550 mails between him and Cyrus Mistry as mentioned in the NCLAT judgment. "These mails were between Chairman Emeritus and Chairman Cyrus Mistry and not by entities in Court."
"The whole case of oppression and prejudice is based entirely on words and statements contained in correspondence without there being an iota of evidence to buttress any actual loss/injury being caused to Tata Sons as a result of Cyrus Mistry being forced to act on such interference/interdiction against his wishes," the petition said.
It went on to state that it was "very unfortunate and distressing" that the NCLAT judgment without providing any proper evidence has passed adverse remarks against Ratan Tata who has spent more than half of his life in building the name of the Tata Sons and other Tata operating companies to one of the top global companies.
The judgment creates a wrong legal precedent that is vulnerable to being misused against several companies, including the public sector and government companies, it said. KRH ANZ BAL

Ratan Tata moves SC against NCLAT order reinstating Mistry as Tata Sons chairman

<keyword id="46894" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tata-Sons">Tata Sons</keyword> Chairman <keyword id="97017" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="N-Chandrasekaran">N Chandrasekaran</keyword> on Wednesday asked all group employees to stay focussed on their businesses and welfare of stakeholders in wake of the NCLAT order that raised issue of his appointment as Executive Chairman of the company. In a message to the employees of the group, Chandrasekaran said Wednesday's "NCLAT ruling, which apart from other things, raises issues on my appointment as Executive Chairman of Tata Sons". He further said, "Tata Sons firmly believes in the strength of our case and will pursue the appropriate legal recourse".
 Going forward, he further said, "I assure you that we have set ourselves on a course that will make the <keyword id="6355725" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="tata-group">Tata Group</keyword> stronger and more vibrant than it has ever been before. I urge all employees to stay focussed on their businesses and the welfare of our stakeholders". Chandrasekaran said ever since he was asked to take on the role and responsibilities of Executive Chairman in February 2017, "our efforts have been primarily focused on: restoring stability and moving decisively towards a healthier financial position; conducting our businesses with the highest ethical standards, which the group has been known for over 150 years".
 He further said "honoring our commitments to all stakeholders and resolving outstanding issues; driving growth and transforming our businesses for the future" were also equally important issues. 
 "We will continue to work towards deepening the legacy of this unique institution," Chandrasekaran said.
 The NCLAT on Wednesday ordered reinstatement of ousted Chairman <keyword id="6356895" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="cyrus-mistry">Cyrus Mistry</keyword>, while ruling appointment of Chandrasekaran as illegal.

After all he came from a family, which is known to zealously protect its privacy. His father Pallonji Mistry who passed away th<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/thelife/personalities/news/pallonji-mistry-the-elusive-but-powerful-phantom-of-bombay-house/articleshow/92511725.cms">is June, was known as the Phantom of Bombay H</a>ouse for the power he used to wield at the Tata group headquarters and was barely ever seen or heard. If the course ran smooth, Cyrus too would have remained so but in 2016, he was unceremoniously removed as the chairman without giving reasons and he was no more low profile. In a bitter boardroom coup, Mistry was asked to step down and when he refused, he was unceremoniously removed by the board of directors. Subsequently he was forced to step down from boards of other Tata companies too. His removal led to one of the ugliest battles that corporate India had ever seen. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="‘Unique in history’" comment="subhead" text="‘Unique in history’">‘Unique in history’</cmsannotation> Mistry called his removal from chairmanship ‘unique in history’. In addition to questioning many business decisions saying that five companies of Tata group had writedowns that accounted to $18 billion; he also questioned the deal with Air Asia which is known to have made fraudulent transactions. “We managed to raise awareness among stakeholders of the challenges in governance and ethics in the group. These were tough messages that had to be sent for the long term interest of the group,” he told <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/opinion/interviews/i-have-a-lifetime-ahead-of-me-but-my-fight-continues-cyrus-mistry/articleshow/56073727.cms?from=mdr">ET in an interview right after he </a>was removed as the chairman. He had accused Ratan Tata of inappropriate intervention and Mistry was pushed to become a ‘lame duck chairman’. The case, as expected, went to court and after a string of shocking twists and turns, the Supreme Court passed an order for the Tata group, after which Mistry filed review petitions and they too were set aside by the country’s highest judicial authority. Mistry, however, never did believe it to be a short-term fight. “I have a lifetime ahead of me and my fight will go on,” he had said. If only, that were true. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Mistry’s Clementine mirror" comment="subhead" text="Mistry’s Clementine mirror">Mistry’s Clementine mirror</cmsannotation> Cyrus Mistry is survived by wife Rohiqa Mistry and two sons Firoz and Zahan. Rohiqa is the daughter of one of Mumbai’s famous lawyers Iqbal Chagla. The unusually quiet Mistry once spoke in an interview on the Tata website of her role in life. He called her a <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/my-wife-does-not-hesitate-to-disagree-with-me-tata-groupscyrus-mistry/articleshow/54399682.cms?from=mdr">Clementine mirror who never shies</a> away from disagreeing with him. He compared her to Winston Churchill’s wife Clementine who had once famously pointed out the errors in the judgment of the war-time hero and Prime Minister of England during its darkest hours. Mistry’s elder brother Shapoor is the sole owner of the Shapoorji Pallonji group, which is known for its construction business in India and the Middle East. The group had also owned Eureka Forbes which was sold to a private equity fund in 2021. Mistry’s friend and NCP Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule who is his friend, calls him an exceptionally hard-working person, who always puts his best foot forward. The golf loving Mistry too had admitted, during his tenure as Tata Sons chairman, that he has done a bad job of work life balance. However, immediately after his exit, the first thing he did even before he took the legal recourse, was to go on a holiday. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Timeline of events of Mistry-Tata case" comment="subhead" text="Timeline of events of Mistry-Tata case">Timeline of events of Mistry-Tata case</cmsannotation> 2011: Cyrus Mistry is appointed as the deputy chairman of Tata Sons. 2012: Cyrus Mistry takes over as the chairman of Tata Sons, as Ratan Tata becomes the chairman emeritus. 2016: Tata Sons removes Cyrus Mistry as the chairman and reinstates Ratan Tata as the interim chairman.
