A vacation bench of the Bombay High Court in Mumbai has granted Suresh Patikhede permission to withdraw his complaint that aimed to stop a key meeting of Tata Trusts. The court, consisting of Justice Advait M. Sethna and Justice Sadesh Dadasaheb Patil, expressed alarm over the petitioner's urgent request while formal complaints about board composition under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act remained unresolved. Patikhede alleged that three of the six trustees of Sir Ratan Tata Trusts (SRTT), including chairman Noel Tata, violated rules limiting the number of permanent trustees. The court declined to halt the meeting and instead encouraged Patikhede to approach the vacation bench. This case is part of a series of complaints against the Tata Trusts, coinciding with reported disagreements among trustees. Notably, Patikhede previously contested against Eknath Shinde in the 2024 elections.
