Maharashtra Charity Commissioner to Review 1989 Tata Sons Share Transfer Opinion
The Maharashtra Charity Commissioner is set to review an external legal opinion challenging the 1989 transfer of 833 Tata Sons shares from the Navajbai Ratan Tata Trust to former trustee Naval H Tata. The opinion, authored by retired Justice S J Mukhopadhaya, alleges the transfer violated company law, trust obligations, and was invalid from inception. It questions the transaction's compliance with fiduciary duties and the absence of fair valuation. The legal opinion is advisory and not a judicial ruling, with the Commissioner seeking further clarity from involved parties.
