In case of Adjournment of Board Meeting
Under Section 288 if the meeting could not be held for want of quorum, then unless the Artilces otherwise provide, the meeting shall automatically adjourned till the dame day in the next week, at the same time and place, or if that day is the public holiday, till the next succeeding day which is not a public holiday at hte same time and place.
It requires, fresh notice to all the directors regarding adjournment and new date of Board Meeting.
Fresh notice is not necessary if the meeting is adjourned to the same day next week. It is however desirable to give notice in that case too. [Promode Kumar Southern Steel Ltd.]
