TATA v MISTRY

CJI says such issues could cause potential problems in future.

Sundaram continues with his arguments.

@tatatrusts @TataCompanies
TATA v MISTRY

Sundaram citing Articles of Tata Sons to show the supremacy of the Board.

Article 121A was introduced to ensure that certain matters had to necessarily have Board approval.

#SupremeCourt #TataSons
TATA v MISTRY

SP group also voted in favour of A 121 due to the relationship of trust they had with Tata Sons.

SP group could not have conceived that the article would be used against them: Sundaram.

TATA v MISTRY

Discussion on interest that Ratan Tata had in Ola/ Uber

Sundaram says he had a personal interest in Ola

CJI Bobde: Does it mean he had business interest

Dr. Singhvi says he wanted to have Tata cars used in Ola and Uber and not just Ola as suggested by Mistry
TATA v MISTRY

CJI Bobde: Mr. Sundaram, you must bear in mind that this is a private company. Our experience with such companies is that they have heads of families controlling, giving directions etc. Birlas, Tata all have such structures.

Your SP Group might also have it.
TATA v MISTRY

CJI Bobde: What is wrong in head of family wanting information or wanting to control decisions.

@tatatrusts
@TataCompanies
TATA v MISTRY

Sundaram: This company owns many listed companies running to 65 lakh crores with public shareholders. So there should be some kind of independence in decision making.

If they wanted to keep a family affair, they should have remained so instead of making it public
TATA v. MISTRY

A public charitable trust cannot legally run such companies. That is why it needs it be "board run": CA Sundaram.

@tatatrusts @TataCompanies

#SupremeCourt
TATA v MISTRY

They cannot use the Articles to claim that they have absolute right over affairs of the company: CA Sundaram

Bench rises. Hearing to continue tomorrow.

#MadrasHighCourt again suggests that State should have mechanisms to monitor media reports so reported offences can be acted against without waiting for a complaint.

Says print media, visual media reports should be checked.

"Each and everything, let us not wait for a PIL." Image
It is seen there is no mechanism to take note of acts of negligence, damage to public property, civic duties which may be reported in the media, Court notes.

#MadrasHighCourt
Court says there should be a special committee of officials from all government departments which could go into media and social media reports and act to address any reported problems then and there.

#MadrasHighCourt, Madurai Bench while hearing PIL re misuse of Advocate stickers pasted on vehicles:

"First of all, what is the legal sanctity of the sticker? ... When widely it is misused, and it is reflecting (badly) on the profession, why not the Bar Council give it up?” Image
Court also orally expresses reservations over a proposal that directions may be given so that Advocate stickers are only purchased from the Bar Council, which may be verified by the police.

#MadrasHighCourt
Court: It may not be possible for police to verify if sticker is issued by Bar Council or not.

People are fabricating calling letter and #NEET card. It is not very difficult (to fabricate advocate stickers as well).
