Ratan Tata and Cyrus Mistry in happier times. File Pic/PTI

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has dismissed the contempt petition filed by two family firms of Cyrus Mistry against Tata Sons Ltd. The quasi-judicial body has given the firms a chance to file an affidavit within three days and also allowed Tata Sons to reply to the matter. The bench was of the view that the action of Tata Sons to remove Mistry as director did not amount to contempt of court.
