Since the appointment is to fill the vacancy created by the death of a director, it will be a casual vacancy.
Quorum for a Board Meeting shall be 1/3rd of the total strength or two directors whichever is higher. However Board Meeting held by a single director, for the purpose of filling the casual vacancy of directors is held to be valid.
