For 4 years, the directors of Tata Sons supported Mistry and exercised caution, restraint and patience, according to the affidavit. "It was Mistry himself who invited Ratan Tata to be the Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons and in that capacity, Ratan Tata had the right to participate in the meetings of the Board of Directors of Tata Sons," it said. Prior to October 24, 2016, in his capacity as Chairman Emeritus, Tata never attended any board meeting of Tata Sons and used to render advice only if warranted, as a person interested in the welfare of the Tata Group and in most cases, if not all, only when Mistry reached out to him. "Ratan Tata personally advised and counselled Mistry on several matters, when time and again Mistry reached out to Ratan Tata for guidance on business related matters," it said. It said although the Nominations and Remunerations Committee of Tata Sons, in its meeting held on June 28, 2016, made positive comments on Mistry's performance, it also stressed upon "the need for greater clarity on the functioning of the Board of Tata Sons Ltd in relation to the Tata Trusts, as well as its role vis¬a¬vis Group Companies". Further, the Committee "did not sufficiently factor his ability to lead the Tata Group in the future". "It was felt that Mistry's leadership was lacking on numerous fronts and did not match up to his promises made at the time of his selection. Mistry's leadership was not aligned to the long term goals and targets of Tata Sons as a company and the Tata Group as a whole," it added
