Tata Trusts says Chandrasekaran reappointment resolution was invalid, rejects casting-vote argument
- On Sunday, Tata Trusts declared the September 17 reappointment of Chairman N. Chandrasekaran invalid, stating the Board failed to secure mandatory support from its nominee directors.
- Tata Sons' AoA requires affirmative support from a majority of Tata Trusts Nominee Directors, who represent the Trusts' approximately 66 per cent stake in the company.
- Rejecting the use of a casting vote, the Trusts argued the Chairman's mechanism applies only to board-level ties, not to specific nominee director requirements.
- Citing Supreme Court proceedings regarding Articles 104B and 121, the Trusts asserted Tata Sons cannot disregard affirmative voting protections it previously defended in court.
- The Trusts rejected arguments that listing Tata Sons would improve governance, citing the company's voluntary adoption of standards covering audits, independent directors, and related-party oversight.
