Tata Trusts has challenged the validity of Tata Sons’ September 17 board resolution reappointing N. Chandrasekaran as chairman for another five-year term. The Trusts, which hold about 66% of Tata Sons, said the company’s Articles of Association require affirmative support from a majority of its nominee directors. With two Trust nominees on the board, both would need to support the resolution, but Noel Tata voted against it while Venu Srinivasan supported it. The Trusts also rejected the use of the chairman’s casting vote to overcome this requirement, calling the resolution legally ineffective. The dispute could lead to further legal proceedings.

Union Minister S. Jaishankar and his wife, along with former Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi, CBI Director Praveen Sood and other prominent officials, have received notices during Delhi’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Their records were flagged mainly because they could not be linked with the previous 2002 voter rolls or contained discrepancies in names and family details. Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and former Supreme Court judge Ranjana Desai are also among those receiving notices. The Delhi Chief Electoral Officer clarified that receiving a notice does not mean voter eligibility has been cancelled or names will automatically be deleted. (PC: India Today)
