03 November 2011 Tenure of new director will be the date on which original director would have hold office.

This new director will be called non-rotational director.

04 November 2011 Following is exact text of Sec 262(2): -

(2) Any person so appointed shall hold office only up to the date up to which the director in whose place he is appointed would have held office if it had not been vacated as aforesaid.

by reading above, it is not clear that he is eligible for automatic re-appointment or not. If he is appointed by General meeting, provision of automatic re-appointment should be applicable. But as he is appointed by BoD, hence in my opinion he is non rotational director. He will retire in the same way as rotational director, but not be re-appointed automatically. If resolution to appoint him is passed at AGM, he will be rotational director thereafter.
