https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=101393 Section 174(4) of the Companies Act, 1956 treats a meeting not adjourned to a specified date as automatically adjourned to the same day, time and place in the following week; no further act is required. Where the board fixes an alternative date, time and place before that statutory date, the other limb of the provision applies. Disputed questions concerning member participation and compliance with the articles require final determination in the suit. Express statutory mechanisms for convening company meetings exclude a civil court's inherent jurisdiction to call or control an annual general meeting. Appointment of a commissioner to conduct the annual general meeting was therefore outside jurisdiction and invalid. en-us Tue, 18 Aug 1987 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:03:14 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=101393 Section 174(4) of the Companies Act, 1956 treats a meeting not adjourned to a specified date as automatically adjourned to the same day, time and place in the following week; no further act is required.
