The person so appointed can act as an additional director up to the date of next annual general meeting. This provision is not meant to enable the company to keep on its Board a person as additional director for an indefinite period of time by not holding the annual general meeting. Section 260, therefore, must necessarily be read with section 166 which stipulates that the annual general meeting be held every year and not more than 15 months shall elapse between the date of one AGM and the next. [P. Natarajan v Central Government (2004) 60 CLA 274 (Mad)].
Since the Board may appoint an additional director to hold office till the date of the next annual general meeting, his appointment needs to be appointed as a normal director by way of an ordinary resolution as a special business at the annual general meeting.
