THE MOST COVETED SUCCESSION SAGA IN CORPORATE INDIA :
HON'BLE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA HAS AGREED TO HEAR THE REVIEW PETITION OF Mr. CYRUS MISTRY IN TATA vrs. MISTRY CASE ON MARCH 09, 2022
- May be interesting to some of my Readers.
The following news ( the above news ) has
come out in all the mainstream media since yesterday. I have just given one
link, that is of The Times of India below, but anybody can read in internet,
there are lot of news.
The Tata-Mistry case is
the example of most coveted succession saga in Corporate India. It is a very
relevant case from the Corporate Sector ( Private Sector ) if read together
with my article I wrote here few days back with the title " Artificial
Shortage of Successors .... " in this Blog.
Placing it here, in case
some Readers would have keen interest in OB (Organizational Behaviour)
Area, in Succession matter of the Organizations, it may be interesting.
Mr. Cyrus Mistry was
appointed as Chairman of Tata Sons as the successor in 1012. In 2016 he was
abruptly and unceremoniously removed and a while later Mr. N. Chandrasekaran
was appointed as Chairman of Tata Sons.
Mr Mistry contested his
removal before the Courts and he was reinstated as Executive Chairman of Tata
Sons, by National Company Law Appellate Tribunal ( NCLAT ). The matter went by
appeal of Tata Sons to Hon'ble Supreme Court and last year Hon'ble Supreme
Court had set aside the NCLAT reinstatement order.
Mr. Mistry has again
approached the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India for review of its own order scrapping
the NCLAT reinstatement order.
On 15-Feb-2022, by an
order ( I have accessed and seen the order ), a Three Judge bench of Hon'ble
Supreme Court presided by the CJI of India has agreed to hear the Review
Petition on March 09, 2022. The review petition of Mr. Mistry has been accepted
to be heard, by 2-Judge ( Hon'ble CJI + 1 Hon'ble Judge ) majority order, while
1-Honble Judge has dissented saying the review petition should have been
dismissed.
I will only say, let us
wait and watch how the matter gets adjudicated again on March 09, 2022 at the
level of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.
I am not passing any
opinion on this subject, but it is a succession issue, interested readers may
kindly read along with my post on succession citied above, that is there in this Blog (drnimain.blogspot.com).

Finally, the Supreme Court on 19-May-2022, Thursday, dismissed the Shapoorji Pallonji group's petition seeking review of the apex court's March 2021 judgment upholding the Tata group's decision to remove Cyrus Mistry as Executive Chairman of Tata Sons, and putting lid on this matter permanently.
