Tata Trusts can't make nominees vote on command, Justice Nariman had opined in 2025
Justice Nariman in 2025 ruled Tata Trusts can't force nominees to vote as instructed.
The opinion was based on the Companies Act and the Supreme Court's 2021 Tata-Mistry case.
Nariman said nominees must exercise independent judgment, not just follow trustee guidance.
The ruling doesn't directly settle the current dispute over Tata Sons' chairman reappointment.
