Section 289 of The Companies Act does not specifically restrict the circular resolution (CR)for issue of duplicate share certificates.
Law speaks that duplicate share certificates shall be issued with the approval of the members of Board/ Board level Committees if specifically delegated by the Board. If it needs to be approved only at the meeting, all cases for issue of duplicate share certificates will be pending till the approval at the meeting. Instead, we can go for CR if the law provides for that.
In light of the above, i request you to share your views to resolve the issue.
Hence in single line question is, whether approval can be sought via CR for issue duplicate share certificates?
