If only one person holds 51% shareholding then no resolution can be passed in General meeting without his consent.

The powers are vast so you pls be specific in your query.

While the day-to-day management of the company is the responsibility of the company's board of directors, the shareholders may exert a significant indirect influence by exercising the rights and powers available to them. These include:

  • passing resolutions at shareholder meetings
  • voting out directors
  • electing to sell their shares
  • exercising minority buy-out rights (this is where dissenting shareholders require the company to buy their shares: the right can give significant protection to disaffected shareholders wanting to sell and preserve their capital)
  • requesting the company in writing to provide information held by the company (with a right to appeal to the court if the company refuses)
  • requiring the company to provide the shareholder with a statement of the shares that he or she holds, and of the various rights, privileges, conditions and limitations that attach to those shares
thank you Charu it is of great help
