Bengaluru/Mumbai, Oct. 27 -- The standoff at Bombay House flared up yet again on Monday, with Noel Tata urging Tata Sons to remove all reference to the reappointment of N. Chandrasekaran from its board meeting minutes, and accusing it of making a regulatory filing based on what he called an invalid resolution. In a nine-page letter to Suprakash Mukhopadhyay, Tata Sons group company secretary and copied to all directors, the Tata Trusts chairman wrote that Tata Sons' filing made to the Registrar of Companies (RoC) "presents a contested and void resolution as a concluded act of the board, and conveys a false impression to the public, to the company's stakeholders and to its regulators." Noel also questioned whether Venu Srinivasan, the Trusts' other nominee on the board, should have cast the deciding vote on Chandrasekaran's appointment, citing Mint's report on business dealings between TVS Motor Corp. and a company run by Chandrasekaran's family members. This is Noel's fifth letter to Tata Sons since the September 17 board meeting where the Tata Sons board ignored his objection and approved Chandrasekaran for a third five-year term starting February 2027. Noel first wrote two letters on September 18, followed by a third on September 30 and then on October 8, according to an executive privy to the developments. In his November 8 letter objecting to the contents of the meeting's minutes, Noel had written: "The minutes must record what transpired at the meeting." In Monday's letter, Noel said he still has not received the final or signed minutes of the meeting, nor any reply to his October 8 letter asking for corrections to the draft. In his last letter, he had said the draft did not include two conditions all six directors had agreed to before announcing the results: that Tata Sons would get a legal opinion on the reappointment, and that shareholders would first approve Chandrasekaran's directorship. In its official filing on October 15, Tata Sons left out the specific rules of Chandrasekaran's reappointment, Mint reported on October 19. "It is unacceptable that, despite being a director of the company, I have not been furnished with a certified true copy of the resolution and have instead been constrained to rely on a version circulating in the public domain," Noel wrote in the latest letter. He said Tata Sons had not answered his requests on September 30 and October 8 seeking the meeting's audio and video recordings. "The recording is the only neutral record of what transpired, and there can be no legitimate reason to withhold it from a director who was present at the meeting and who has placed his objections on record," he wrote. Emails sent to Tata Sons and Noel seeking comment went unanswered. Noel noted that neither the original nor the revised agenda for the September 17 meeting mentioned a resolution to reappoint the executive chairman....
