Dear Bijoy,
As mentioned by Prakash, he may be appointed in the same defaulting company. Reason being he is no more a director of the same company. Law says he can not be appointed as a director of any 'other PLC'.
However, If we go by the literal interpretation of the proviso he may be appointed as a director of any other PLC if he leave the defaulting Co. before the default commence. Reason being it is mentioned in the proviso that such person shall not be allowed to appoint in other PLC for 5 years if he is still a director of a defaulting Co. (i.e. still working in the defaulting co. {Present tense}.
In simple words if he leave the company before default then there will be no question of application of the proviso. Hope this discussion will help you in your professional work.
