If a company appoints an individual auditor and keep him for 4 consecutive years and then in next AGM does not retify him instead appoints a new auditor. And again after 1 year appoints the first individual as auditor wich was appointed earlier. Now can we say that this individual can work as an auditor for 5 consecutive years or previous 4 year would also be counted here irrespective of the fact that there was a 1 year gap in between his tenure?

His tenure will be counted as one period irrespective of the period he hold.. for example if I hold 1 year as auditor and resigned.. Uh can treat my tenure as Deemed 5 Yrs..and I can't be appointed as auditor for further 5 more years from my date of resignation... in you're case his tenure will be 4 years.. he can't be eligible for further period of 5 years from resignation.. hope U understand what I Mean to convey
