Jagran Prakashan has circulated a representation from seven Independent Directors opposing a special notice to remove them from the Board, ahead of an EGM on 29 May 2026. The removal attempt stems from voting and control disputes within the promoter group, which are currently sub-judice before the Hon'ble NCLT in Allahabad (C.P. No. 64 of 2023 and C.P. No. 57 of 2025). The Independent Directors maintain there are no performance, conduct, or integrity allegations against them and argue their removal, without any governance-related or performance-related basis, could harm investor confidence, governance perception, and institutional stability. They also note that the very appointment they are defending is itself part of the pending NCLT dispute, and that the Board had recently approved governance improvements which certain promoter members later reversed and challenged.
