A, B and C were directors of a public limited company over a period of one year, as follows.

A was a director for about a year.

He was removed in the AGM held in last September, 2011 and in the same meeting B was appointed. (Due notice u/s 284 & also 257 received). B will hold office upto AGM in 2013 (since A will hold office till AGM in 2013.)

Now, B resigns, say in March and in his place C is appointed. The question is whether the vacancy caused by retirement of B is a casual vacancy and whether C is appointed in the casual vacancy and whether he can hold office till AGM in 2013.
