What happened
Abhishek Manu Singhvi has been appointed to represent Tata Trusts in a legal challenge against Tata Sons. The challenge opposes the board resolution that reappointed N Chandrasekaran as chairman of Tata Sons and the proposed listing of the Tata group holding company. Tata Trusts, which holds approximately 66% of Tata Sons, argues the reappointment resolution was invalid because it lacked necessary support from Trust-nominated directors.
