20 July 2012 No they cannot appoint for 2 reasons. The firm would be under scanner & any appointment of Directors is done in the Board meeting. Since the directors are in Jail, no board meeting will be conducted. However, the maximum he can do is generate a power of attornet signed by both the directors.

21 July 2012 The only option is to appoint him from back date.

Now they cannot do board meeting in jail. SEcondly after 30 days from the date they were sentenced they are disqualified and shall vacate their office of director.

21 July 2012 EGM can be called on the requisition of members also,if the board cannot call the same.

I think that will be the best option in the above circumstances.

13 September 2012 Ankurji,

U/s 283 (1)(e) period of sentenced to imprisonment is 6 months rather than 30 days for vacation of office.
