It reinforces the value system and the ethics of our judiciary.

On Thursday, SC dismissed a plea of the SP group seeking a review of the 2021 verdict which had upheld the Tata group's decision to remove Cyrus Mistry as the executive chairman of the Tata Sons.
A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana, however, ordered the deletion of certain remarks made against Cyrus Mistry in the March 2021 verdict.
Mistry, who took over the reins of the Tata Group from Ratan Tata in 2012, was ousted as Chairman of Tata Sons in October 2016 as "the board of Tata Sons lost confidence in him and his ability to lead the Tata Group in future".
When NCLT Mumbai dismissed the pleas of the two Mistry family backed firms, they moved the NCLAT, which restored Mistry as executive chairman of Tata Sons, but suspended its implementation for four weeks in order to provide time for Tatas to appeal.
Then on January 2, 2020, Tata Sons challenged the NCLAT decision of December 18, 2019 before the Supreme Court. On March 26, 2021, the SC delivered its verdict, allowing Tata Group's appeals and sets aside the NCLAT order restoring Mistry as executive chairman of the Group.
