corporate law

Hi Rohit,

Section 162 of the Companies Act 2013 prohibits placing a single resolution before the members for the appointment of two or more directors. There needs to be a separate resolution for the election of each individual standing for directorship. 

Since Besan Ltd is a public company and it has moved a single resolution for appointment of both the directors in a general meeting before the members, both the appointments shall be void due to application of Section 162 of the act.
