Section 165(1) provides that a company which is obliged to hold statutory meeting shall within a period of not less than one month and not more than six month from the date at which the company is entitled to commence business shall hold a meeting of its members which shall be specified as Statutory Meeting.
The date of entitlement of commencement of business shall be considered as the date of certificate to commence business issued by the Registrar of Companies under section 149 of the Companies Act, 1956.
Meeting held prior to statutory period of one month is not a statutory meeting-{Gardner v.
Iredale (1912) 1 Ch.700}.
Notice must says that meeting is intended to be a statutory meeting-{Gardner v. Iredale
(1912) 1 Ch.700}.
