Judge Amogh Kaloti: The man who holds key to Tata dispute
In Maharashtra's legal landscape, Amogh Kaloti, a district judge, has risen to prominence due to his role in the Tata dispute. Recently appointed as the charity commissioner, Kaloti has been thrust into the middle of one of India's most high-profile corporate disputes. In May 2026, Kaloti directed the Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) to halt board meetings and launched an investigation into the trusts that hold 66.4% of the Tata group.
A lawyer by profession, Kaloti is known for his adherence to the law and his soft-spoken demeanor. Hailing from Amravati, he has held various judicial positions before being appointed to his current role in February 2024. Despite the sensitive nature of the case, the process is expected to take several months for hearings to conclude.
Kaloti has made one ruling in the Tata dispute, finding the 1989 share transfer to be legally valid. Two other complaints against the SRTT are also pending before him.
