MUMBAI (Reuters) - Tata Sons' ousted chairman Cyrus Mistry ratcheted up his battle versus the $100 billion software-to-salt conglomerate with the commencement of legal proceedings against the company on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the matter said.
The move comes a day after Mistry's surprise move to resign from the boards of all listed Tata companies.
The legal proceedings have commenced with the filing of a petition at the National Companies Law Tribunal (NCLT), a quasi-judicial body that deals with corporate grievances in India, the sources said.
Mistry has filed a petition under sections 241 and 242 of the Companies Act of 2013 that deal with shareholder oppression and mismanagement, said one of the sources.
