Supreme Court of India has provided a big relief to Ratan Tata when it gave the judgment in favor of Tata Groups against Cyrus Mistry’s plea. Cyrus Mistry was the Tata Sons Chairman from 2012 to 2016. He was not happy with a board decision to remove him from the chairman position in 2016.

Since then, the legal battle between Tata Sons and Cyrus Mistry is going on. Mistry blamed the Tata group for mismanagement and unjustified behavior against the shareholders. Mistry and Family hold the majority stakes in Tata Sons.

What Supreme Court Judgement Says about Tata vs Mistry Case?

In 2016, the board of Directors took a unanimous decision to oust Mistry from the Chairman position. The whole management was not happy with Mistry’s activities as Chairman.

The top court found no irregularities in the board of directors’ decision. The three-judge bench rejected the Mistry plea. Mistry was fighting a battle on the ground that his removal from the chairman position was illegal and he should be reinstated again.

Related to Mistry’s plea of separation from Tata Group, the court also said that Tata Group and Mistry can solve the share issue through the legal route.

Chief Justice of India SA Bobde during the order as per legal news platform Bar & Bench, said:

“We cannot adjudicate on the question of compensation and they can take the route under Article 75. Order of NCLAT is set aside. Appeal by TATA group is upheld. Appeal by SP group is dismissed. Appeal by Cyrus Investments is dismissed,”

CJI Bobde, Justice AS Bopanna, and Justice V Subramanian pronounced this landmark judgment.

The judgment further said:

“We leave it to Tata Sons, Mistry to take the legal route to resolve the issue of shares. Value of Tata Sons shares depends on equity.”

In 2016, Ratan Tata asked Mistry to step down from the chairman post as the top management has lost faith in his working styles. Cyrus Mistry refused to do so. This is how the public spat between Tata and Mistry started.
