Noel Tata raises ‘strong objection’ to Tata Sons conduct, calls Chandra vote ‘null and void’

Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata has challenged the validity of the September 17 Tata Sons board meeting, saying the voting on N Chandrasekaran’s reappointment and other resolutions was subject to conditions that were subsequently breached.

In a strongly worded letter Friday morning addressed to Tata Sons company secretary Suprakash Mukhopadhyay and marked to all directors, Tata said the resolution on the chairman’s reappointment was “null and void ab initio” and demanded that the company issue a public correction on what transpired at the meeting.
