What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Tata Trusts has challenged the reappointment of N Chandrasekaran as executive chairman of Tata Sons, arguing that the September 17 board vote was invalid because the Articles of Association require support from both Trust-nominated directors. Separately, Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh filed complaints alleging governance irregularities and interference in the affairs of the Tata Group's holding company. Tata Trusts rejected these allegations in a letter signed by Noel N Tata and Bhaskar Bhat.
