While reading the AOA I found the following:
"The three Directors mentioned hereinabove in Article 31 (a) shall be permanent Directors and shall remain Directors for life or until they voluntarily resign their office."
With this statement in AOA, still can one of the Director be removed from directorship. Does Section 284 or any other section of company law overrules whatever is mentioned in AOA.
In my opinion, AOA of a Company cant supercede the Act. Therefore, Permanent Directors can be removed in accordance with the provisions of section 284 of the Companies Act, 1956.
