The court found the concept of one person conducting a meeting with himself to be absurd and contrary to legislative intent. The explanation to section 186(1) requiring court direction for one member to constitute a meeting supported this interpretation.

The appeals were dismissed. en-us Mon, 02 Sep 1957 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 14 Jul 2025 17:14:13 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=97540 The Kerala HC held that a one-man company cannot hold a general meeting under section 76(1) of the Indian Companies Act, 1913.
