The Supreme Court Thursday dismissed a plea of the Shapoorji Pallonji (SP) group seeking a review of the 2021 verdict which had upheld the Tata group's decision to remove Cyrus Mistry as the executive chairman of the Tata Sons. A bench headed by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana, however, ordered the deletion of certain remarks made against Cyrus Mistry in the March 2021 verdict.
Senior advocate Harish Salve, appearing for the Tata group, said the court may permit the deletion of one or a few sentences not for the reasons given in the application of the Shapoorji Pallonji (SP) group.
The top court on March 26, 2021, had set aside a National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) order restoring Mr. Mistry as the executive chairman of $100-billion salt-to-software conglomerate.
The apex court had also dismissed a plea of Shapoorji Pallonji Group seeking the separation of ownership interests in Tata Sons Pvt Ltd (TSPL).
Mr. Mistry had succeeded Ratan Tata as the chairman of TSPL in 2012 but was ousted four years later.
