Dear Ruchika,
Section 260 says the additional directors shall hold office only upto the date of the next annual general meeting....moreover it is clarified that the additional director shall hold office only upto the date of AGM or if could not be held then upto the date the AGM should have been held.
Nowhere there is a restriction in the Companies Act to regularise the Additional Director before AGM.
In my view, he can be appointed as a director (by complying section 257) before the date of AGM.
Regards
Deepak
