22 January 2011 Yes. You may appoint the director in the EGM without appointing him as additional director. Sec 257 deals with appointment of directors other than retiring directors to stand for directorship. It states appointment in general meeting (GM can be both AGM and EGM).

Convene a Board meeting and propose a resolution for the appointment of director, approve the notice of EGM.

In the EGM pass the required resolution and file form-32 with in 30 days of passing resolution in the EGM.
