Hi,
No Mr. Srivastava you are not wrong but you are simply giving literal interpretation to that phrase pasted by you i.e. "in case of a public company….”. If you go by the literal interpretation then you are absolutely right.
But for me following the literal interpretation of section 262 means a purely Private Company in that case can not fill C.V. unless authorized by its AOA or before altering its AOA to that effect, which would be a kind of hardship for such purely Private Company.
As per my interpretation section 262 is not a huge procedural section exemption from which would prove really advantageous for a purely Private Company then what is the benefit to say it does not apply in case of private companies rather i would say it is available to a purely Private Company and if AOA of purely Private Company are silent still such company may fill its C.V. by following section 262.
As per my opinion it would be beneficial for a purely Private Company to voluntarily adopt Section 262 as it is not a hard procedural Section like Remuneration to Managerial Personnel provisions. I always believe in come out from the bookish language and give the widest meaning to the language used by legislature keeping myself with in four corners of law.
Hope you understand my point of view and again you are right in your mentioning that section 262 does not apply in case of private companies as it is very much evident from the first 2 lines of section 262 itself.
Best Regards
