A  Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice of India NV Ramana, Justices AS Bopanna, and Hima Kohli today indicated that they will hear the plea filed by Cyrus P. Mistry seeking expunction of certain allegedly 'disparaging remarks' from court's Final Order and Judgment dated 26th March 2021. 

Through the 2021 judgment, the top court had set aside the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal order which had held the proceedings of the sixth meeting of the Board of Directors of TATA Sons Limited held on 24th October 2016 as illegal, whereby Mistry was removed from the position of Chairman of Tata Sons.
 
Senior Advocate Janak Dwarkadas on behalf of Mistry alleged before the bench that there are certain observations in the 2021 order that go against Mistry's reputation. 

On the other hand, senior advocates Harish Salve and Dr. A.M. Singhvi representing Tata Sons submitted that they have certain preliminary objections to Mistry's instant application and would like to file a counter. 

Therefore, considering the submission of both the parties, the bench informed the counsels that it would hear the matter in 10 days and then decide it. 

Salve and Singhvi were briefed by a team from Karanjawala & Co. Advocates led by  Ruby Singh Ahuja, Senior Partner and comprising of Tahira Karanjawala, Arjun Sharma, Ashutosh P. Shukla, Lakshya Khanna and  Jappanpreet Hora, and  Dhruv Dewan.
 
Also, the Tata Trusts were represented by. Zal Andhyarujina,  Sr. Adv. along with a team from Mulla & Mulla and Craigie Blunt & Caroe.
