Company law: agm

Dear Members,

An AGM for a private limited company was held and notice alongwith agenda & financial statements were provided to all shareholders as per the provisions of the Companies Act. On the day of the AGM, one shareholder came 10 minutes after the scheduled time. By that time, the meeting had concluded as the items on the agenda were limited (company is a private company with minimum transactions) and quorum was present. Ths shareholder was accompanied by her advocate and cried foul. Kindly advice as the shareholder has approached the ROC.

Regards,

Bhaven Shah

if the quorum was present then company has a right to commence its meeting and not liable to wait for someone unless the presence of the said person is utmost important to discuss upon specific agenda.

 

in this case if the said person presence was not compulsory  required for discussion on specific agenda then the said person cannot ask the board to wait for him/her.

 

if the said member feels that any particular topic requires detailed dicsussion and he/she can brings few facts before the board which is relevant and beneficial for the shareholders/company or employes, then the company may reschedule its meeting or call an EGM for that specific agenda.

The shareholder has around 1% holding in the pvt company and there was no special agenda to be discussed at the meeting. However, the shareholder is causing trouble and harassment by making frvolous allegations. What remedy is available to the Company.

Numerous attempts have been made to resolve the matter amicably but the shareholder believes in harassing the directors. Kindly advice
