GROUP READY TO RETURN EMAIL FIRE

MUMBAI: The battle between Tata and Mistry moves to the cyber space. Tata Sons, which got Ratan Tata as interim chairman on Monday while removing Mistry, has prepared a comprehensive response to Mistry’s email that said he was shocked beyond words at his ouster.

Tata Sons’ email, said executives of the group who did not agree to be named, will be addressed and sent directly to Mistry and not to anyone else. It will address all the points raised in Mistry’s email, such as no explanation being given for his removal from the chairman’s position, and he not being given a chance to defend himself.

Mistry’s email, said reports, said he was not able to function freely because of the changes in the articles of association of Tata Sons that curtailed the powers of the chairman.

As of Wednesday, Tata Sons email response, said the executives mentioned above, had been drafted and would soon be sent.
