·         Quorum
It refers to the minimum No required for a valid meeting
Quorum required for shareholders meeting is 5 in case of public company and 2 in case of private company
Proxy is not counted in ascertaining quorum

·         One man quorum
Class meetings
If all the shares of a particular class are held by one  person then he shall constitute the quorum

Sec 167
à power of CLB to hold AGM
Sec 186
à power of CLB to hold EGM

Adjournment – sec 174
If quorum is not present within half an hour the meeting shall stand dissolved if it was called by requisitionists

in case of meeting called by the company if quorum is not present within half an hour meeting shall stand automatically adjourned to next week same place, day and time ( no notice required in case of automatic adjournment ) . public holiday doesn’t count for adjournment

At the adjourned meeting also if the quorum is not present within half an hour then the members present shall be deemed to constitute quorum( one man present shall not constitute quorum)

Quorum is required for a shareholders meeting in order to commence the meeting

 as explained by me above the answer for your question is that quorum is invalid and it shall be adjourned
