Agree with Mr. Rohit that members attending proxy will be considered as revocation of Proxy.
YOu can even refer case: Cousins v. INternational Bricks Co. Ltd. (1931)

The proxy can be revoked at any time by way of written notice thereof. However, Where a shareholder who having given proxy, personally attends and votes at the meeting, the proxy is revoked thereby.
Cousins V. International Bricks Co. Ltd. it was held that the shareholder who was present at the meeting can not be deprived by the company to vote in person, even though he had given a proxy to some other person to vote for him at the same meeting;
the fact that the proxy was not revoked in the manner as pescribed in articles did not prevent hte member recording his vote in person to the exclusion of the proxy holder.
Thus the vote by the member himself is valid vote.

In simple words as per MPVs book... wen the member himself attends the meeting the proxy gets cancelled automatically
