Former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry was voted out as director in Tata Consultancy Services.
He had skipped TCS’ Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), even as shareholders cast votes to remove him from the post.
Holders of 86.71 per cent share of the company voted. Of this, about 93.11 per cent voted in favour of the resolution to remove Mr. Mistry. The total number of votes for the resolution stood at 2,450, while those against numbered 1,222.
Tata Sons, which holds more than 73 per cent stake in TCS, had moved the resolution to oust Mr. Mistry.
Acting chairman Ishaat Hussain had recused himself to avoid conflict of interest as he is a nominee of Tata Sons.
Out of 40 speakers, at the shareholder’s meet only four spoke in his support.
