12 January 2012 There are 12 Directors in a Company. There is a provision in AoA that quorum required for B.M. would be min. 5 directors but applying provisions of section 287 min quorum required would be 4. Now, if any resolution has been passed in presence of 4 directors then will it be a valid resolution??

12 January 2012 In this case Articles are to be amended and provision of 1/3rd or 2 is to be incorporated in the Articles.

Because section 287 does not provides that Articles can provide otherwise.

Otherwise, any business transacted without quorum is not valid.

12 January 2012 Agree with expert.

Make amendment in Articles by make correction in relevant clause.

Because provison of sec 287 prevail over the articles.
