21 July 2011 Thanks for such a prompt reply.

But can u support your answer by quoting sectins and/or decided case laws.

21 July 2011 Kindly refer section 224(6) of companies act, 1956 which says:

(6) (a) The Board may fill any casual vacancy in the office of an auditor; but while any such vacancy continues, the remaining auditor or auditors, if any, may act:



Provided where such vacancy is caused by the resignation of an auditor, the vacancy shall only be filled by the company in general meeting.


So while any such vacancy continues, the remaining auditor or auditors, if any, may act.

Regards

21 July 2011 I agree with the experts

21 July 2011 casual vaccancy need not to be fill in general meeting. casual vaccancy can be fill in board meeting if it is not due to resignation.
