26 May 2012 Hi



In Case the director of the company is less than two or the no. of director fix for the quorum, then the remaining director (continuing director or directors) may act for the purpose of increasing the no. of directors to that fixed for the quorum or summoning a general meeting of the company, but no for other purpose.

Please read Regulation 75 of Table A of Schedule I of the Companies Act, 1956.

26 May 2012 Dear Mishra Ji, Regulation Table A is applicable to Public Ltd. Companies but my query was with regard to Pvt. Ltd. Company.

There are agood number of cases in which the courts have held that a single director can hold a meeting to appoint additional directors.Zimmers Ltd. v Zimmer(1951)WN600;Macson Dev. Co.Ltd.,Gordon;Collieries Trust Ltd v Dover,St.Margaret's & Martin Mill Light Rly. Co(1914)2 CH 506 (CA).

Regartdsd,

26 May 2012 Hi


Where it says that Table A of Schedule I is applicable to public company and not to private company.



Regards

26 May 2012 Mr. Mishra is correct. The Hon'ble court has held its judgment in similar line what has been mentioned in Regulation 75 of Table A
