Saptarshi, a small shareholder director, has specified to the Company Secretary that agenda and notes on agenda for forthcoming board meeting on approval of accounts be sent to him by e-mail. Due to urgency the company had to convene the board meeting at a shorter notice suddenly. The secretary arranged to deliver the agenda and notes thereon by hand at his residence. Saptarshi opposed to this mode of delivery and threatened to resign from the office. Discuss if the objection is tenable in the light of secretarial standards.
Answer & Explanation:
Para 1.3.7 of SS-1 provides that where a director specifies a particular means or delivery of agenda and notes thereon these papers shall be sent to him by such means. But in case of a meeting conducted at a shorter notice the company may choose an expedient mode of sending agenda and notes on agenda. Applying the provisions in the given situation, delivery of agenda and notes thereon by hand at residence of small shareholder director Saptarshi when board meeting is convened at a shorter notice suddenly is valid though he had specified the delivery of same to him by email earlier. The objection raised by Saptarshi is not tenable.
