The court ruling in favor of Tata Chemicals' subsidiary is a positive development, removing a significant contingent liability.
* The Court of Appeal in Nairobi has ruled in favor of Tata Chemicals Magadi Ltd (TCML), a subsidiary of Tata Chemicals, in a dispute with the County Government of Kajiado, Kenya. * The court declared that the demand of ₹783 crore (Kenyan Shillings 11.84 billion) for land rates raised by the County Government was arbitrary and illegal. * The court ordered that TCML is not obligated to pay the land revenue arrears due to the lack of an open and accountable framework for determining the land rates. * The amount is currently part of the contingent liabilities in the books of accounts. The management will take a decision on the contingent liabilities based on this judgement.
