NCLAT restores Cyrus Mistry as executive chairman of Tata Sons

National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on Wednesday restored Cyrus Mistry as executive chairman of Tata Sons. It also held the appointment of N Chandrasekaran as Mistry's successor illegal.

Cyrus Mistry, a scion of wealthy Shapoorji Pallonji family, was in a coup removed as Chairman of Tata Sons in October 2016. He was the sixth chairman of Tata Sons and had taken over in 2012 after Ratan Tata. He was later also removed as a director on board of Tata Sons.
