The story of how that loan got converted into a 12.5% shares of Tata Sons, which is worth about $200 billion now, and which ultimately landed in the hands of the Pallonji Mistry family, is not known to most. That secret is likely to be revealed by the public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Abhinav Bharat Congress, a think-tank led by Pankaj Phadnis who's a public policy activist and the son of a district judge.
