Procedure for Convening and Conduct of General Meetings

Procedure for Convening and Conduct of General Meetings :

The business at a meeting is said to have been “validly transacted” if the members of the organisation or body concerned, whether or not they were present, are bound by the decision made there at. They cannot be so bound unless the meeting is validly held. The essentials of a valid meeting are that the meeting should be:

(a) Properly convened:, i.e. a proper notice must be sent by the proper authority to every person entitled to attend.

(b) Properly constituted, i.e. the proper person must be in the chair, the rules as to quorum must be observed, and the regulations governing the meeting must be complied with.

(c) Properly conducted, i.e. the chairman must conduct the proceeding in accordance with the law relating to general meetings as per the Companies Act (Sections 101 to 109 of the Companies Act, 2013), the Company’s own Articles of Association or, in respect of any specific matter, by the common law relating to meetings.
