Mistry had succeeded Ratan Tata as the chairman of TSPL in 2012 but was ousted four years later.The SP Group had told the top court that Mistry's removal as the chairman of TSPL at a board meeting held in October 2016 was akin to a 'blood sport' and 'ambush', in complete violation of the principles of corporate governance and in pervasive violation of the Articles of Association in the process. The Tata Group had vehemently opposed the allegations and denied any wrongdoing, saying the board was well within its right to remove Mistry as the chairman.
