In a relief to Cyrus Mistry's group, the supreme court has decided to reconsider its march 26, 2021 decision upholding Tata Sons' decision to remove him from the company's executive chairman and board of directors in 2016. The matter will be heard on march 9.
A three-judge bench of Chief Justice with a 2:1 majority agreed to consider the review petition filed by the Mistry group in open court on march 9.
Justice Ramasubramaniam has disagreed with this february 15 order to consider the review petition. review petitions are considered within the Chamber of Judges as per the rules of the supreme Court.
In the order issued on Monday, the majority said that the applications seeking oral hearing of the review petitions are accepted. On the other hand, Justice Ramasubramaniam, differing from the majority view, has said, I regret my inability to agree with the order.
I have carefully gone through the review petitions and have not found any valid ground for reviewing the decision. The grounds raised in the review petitions are not covered under this. Therefore, the applications seeking oral hearing deserve to be dismissed.
