One of the director from the two has with guilty mind passed a resolution at the Board Meeting has appointed 2 additional directors. Also the notice for the Board Meeting was not conveyed to other 4 Director.

No, It is not valid in law. Because Quoram is not maintained during the meeting. So the meeting is not a valid meeting. Any resolution passed in this meeting will be treated as invalid.

In the case referred to by you, the meeting and consequently the proceedings of the meeting are invalid.
However in emergency a single director can hold a board meeting for appointment of additional director to meet the statutory requirement viz., appointment of additional director in case of death of a director where the company has only 2 directors or to convene EGM, etc.
