Tata Trusts drama: Ex-trustee Mistry files caveat

Business Nov 03, 2025

Mehli Mistry, who recently lost his spot as a trustee at Tata Trusts, has filed a caveat with Maharashtra's Charity Commissioner.
He's basically asking for a fair hearing before any official removal goes through.
Interestingly, the Trusts haven't yet completed the legal paperwork required after such changes.

Mistry's exit and potential legal battles

This isn't just about one person—Mistry's move puts the spotlight on how trustees can defend their positions under the law.
His exit followed some tense votes and hints at deeper disagreements within Tata Trusts, which control most of Tata Sons.
The outcome could set new rules for handling disputes in India's biggest charitable trusts and shape who really calls the shots at Tata group.
