Tata Sons row: Legal experts weigh Chandrasekaran reappointment dispute

Tata Sons row: Legal experts weigh Chandrasekaran reappointment dispute - Industry - 8 min read Tata Sons row: Legal experts weigh Chandrasekaran reappointment dispute The legal dispute over N Chandrasekaran’s reappointment as chairman of Tata Sons is centred on a few provisions in the company’s Articles of Association (AoA), particularly Articles 118 and 121. While the Tata Trusts have said the September 17 board resolution is illegal, the board has clearly proceeded on a different interpretation of the Articles. The issue gained significance after Tata Trusts nominee director Noel Tata voted against Chandrasekaran’s reappointment, while the board proceeded with the resolution after relying on a casting-vote mechanism. The first issue is whether the board’s majority vote was sufficient to approve Chandrasekaran’s reappointment despite the dissent of one of the two Tata Trusts nominee directors. The dispute turns on whether the affirmative vote requirement applicable to the Trust nominees operates as an additional threshold over and above the overall board majority. “Both sides are relying on legal opinions. Strictly speaking, it’s difficult to say whether the reappointment will be considered valid or invalid,” she added. “The validity of the reappointment turns principally on the construction of Articles 118 and 121 of Tata Sons’ Articles of Association. Article 121 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors appointed under Article 104B for matters requiring a majority decision of the Board, while also providing for a casting vote in case of an equality of votes. Therefore, the fact that the Board resolution was approved by a majority does not, by itself, resolve whether the specific voting requirements under the Articles were satisfied,” said Ketan Mukhija, partner and co-head of PE & VC at Kochhar & Co. “A board…
