Tata Trusts has announced plans to amend the Bai Hirabai Jamsetji Tata Navsari Charitable Institution's trust deed to eliminate restrictive clauses regarding trustee eligibility, particularly concerning non-Zoroastrians. This decision was made during a Board of Trustees meeting on April 17, chaired by Noel N. Tata. The move comes amid heightened internal tensions following CEO Siddharth Sharma's request for the resignations of vice-chairmen Venu Srinivasan and Vijay Singh. Srinivasan has resigned, while Singh remains in his position. Both vice-chairmen have alleged that a crucial legal opinion from former Chief Justice M. H. Kania regarding trustee eligibility was concealed from them, leading to claims of misrepresentation. The Bai Hirabai Trust was created under the 1916 Codicil of Sir Ratan Tata's will, which did not impose any restrictions based on ethnicity or religion. However, a 1923 trust deed introduced such restrictions, which the current trustees aim to rectify to align with the inclusive values of Tata Trusts.
