Ousted Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry on Monday said he would appeal against the order of National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) that dismissed pleas challenging his removal.A statement from Mistry’s office described the NCLT, Mumbai, ruling as “disappointing although not surprising”.
“We will continue to strive for ensuring good governance and protection of interests of minority shareholders and all stakeholders in Tata Sons from the wilful brute rule of the majority,” the statement said.In a ruling today, the tribunal said it was not accepting Mistry’s contentions that his removal was due to the result of mismanagement by the board and oppression of minority shareholders of the group.”The ruling is in line with the earlier position expressed by the tribunal.
