The abrupt sacking of Cyrus Mistry as the chairman and director, respectively, of Tata Sons and its crown jewel TCS violated provisions of the Companies Act, RBI rules and more importantly, Tatas’ own Articles of Association, the RoC, Mumbai, said in an RTI reply.
The right to information (RTI) reply, given by Uday Khomane, the assistant registrar of companies (RoC), Mumbai on October 3, was in response to a RTI request filed by the investment arms of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group on August 31.
A Tata Sons spokesman, however, refused to offer detailed comments on the questions sent by PTI, saying, “We do not wish to comment on the matter as the matter is sub-judice.”
Meanwhile, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has directed the Mistry camp to submit specific changes it wants in the Articles of Association (AoA) of Tata Sons.
Changes in AoA
A Bench headed by Justice S.J. Mukhopadhaya asked the Mistry camp to file within 2 days the changes it was seeking in the AoA.
