Appointment of director in casual vacancy in pvt. ltd.

Pvt ltd 227 views 2 replies

Dear all,

I am working in the Pvt. Co. , after the commencement of Companies Act 2013, first time one of the director resigned . Now, Articles of Asociation of the Company permits the BOD to fill up the casual vecancy . However , Section 161(4) specifically talks about the filling up of the Casual vecancy through BM by Public Co & Pvt. co. which subsidiary to Public co.

this provision is similar to section 262 Companies Act,1956. In book written by Sanjiv Agarwal Sir on Companies Act 1956, it has been mentioned that It does not bar Pvt. Co. to filling of casual vecancy by Board of Directors if Articles of the Company specifically permits for the same.

Please guide me, can I appoint the director in Casual Vecancy through BM or I need to Call up EGM for the same.

Sec.161(4) as it stands today is applicable only in case of public company and therefore you need to convene EGM to  fill casual vacancy.  However, vide Companies (Amendment) Bill 2016 the words "In the case of a public company" in the section are proposed to  be omitted, after passing of which the provision will apply in private company also.

 

Dear Gargi

No need to conduct EGM to appoint director for a casual vacancy. You can appoint thorugh Board Meeting to fill casual vacancy even it is mentioned in the act for Pvt ltd company. It is not barring PVT ltd companies appointing though BM.

Thanks & Kind Regards
