Mehli Mistry approaches Maharashtra Charity Commissioner over Tata Trusts ouster

The Charity Commissioner oversees affairs of public trusts in the state under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, 1950. The move comes after Tata Trusts declined to renew Mistrys term on October 28. In a written representation, Mistry has requested that any proposal to amend the list of trustees should trigger a formal notice to him, ensuring an opportunity to be heard before any decision is made. Tata Trusts is yet to file the ‘change report with the Charity Commissioner and is working on it, said people aware of the matter.
