Ya appoint another director and fill the minimum requirement of Directors as per companies act else if such event continue for more than six months then company will be declared defunct company.

Dear Mr Hardik,

The public company has already 3 Directors. so far as minimum Statutory directors are concerned the company is public Company. The problem is that somehow number of sharesholders of that public co. has reduced to 2. As per statutory requirement. for pub co minimum 7 shareholders are required. so how to continue the status of pub. co when the no of members get reduced from 7 which is statutory requirement..

within 6 months have to raise the no of members to 7 else will be declared defunct and other effect is that both member will be personally liable for the affairs of the company.
