preferential allotment of shares in a pvt ltd company

Company A is a pvt ltd company and has four shareholders  - W, X, Y and Z

W holds 65%

 X holds - 23%

Y holds 6 %

Z holds 6 %

The articles of association mention that article 81 must be followed (although article 81 itself is not applicable to pvt. ltd. companies).

X decided to issue new shares and allotted these shares only to himself and to Y and Z without offering them to W who holds 23 %.

There was no general meeting called..there was no special resolution passed.  Can Y oppose this ?

We know it is easy to manipulate the AGM minutes and backdate this but what can Y do to protect his rights without having his shareholding diluted ? As total of W plus Y plus Z is 77% which is more than 75 %, how can X prevent abuse.

Can X challenge actions of W, Y and Z with pvt Company Law Board ?

Regards,

Bhushan
