Tata Sons Board Reappoints Chandrasekaran for Third Term

Tata Sons' board reappointed N Chandrasekaran as chairman for a third term on September 17, using the chairman's casting vote after nominee directors split 1-1. Tata Trusts challenged the move, citing legal opinion that a majority of nominee directors was required. Tata Sons obtained contrary opinions from senior advocates Sudipto Sarkar and B N Srikrishna, who argued the procedure was valid.
