To the best of my knowledge the AOA of a Company limited by Shares are drafted in accordance with Table A of Schedule I to the Companies Act, 1956.
Regulation 75 of the said Table provides that in case the minimum number of Directors fall below the prescribed number, a Board Meeting held by the remaining Director/s for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to minimum shall be completely valid.
Similarly, a Board Meeting held with the remaining Director for convening a GM of the Company for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to minimum shall be completely valid.
