Can Rahul refuse to take it up for discussion ?
Answer & Explanation:
Clause 1.3.10 of the SS-1 further provides that any item of business not included in the agenda may be taken up for a consideration with the permission of the chairman and with the consent of a majority of the directors present in the meeting, which shall include at least one independent director, if there is one. Thus, where majority of the directors including one independent director consent to the inclusion of the subject and the chairman has no objection, Rahul cannot refuse to take up the subject to discussion.
