”Ordinary Resolution” means a Resolution when, at a General Meeting of which the Notice required under the Act has been duly given, the votes cast (whether on a show of hands or on a poll) in favour of the Resolution (including the casting vote, if any, of the Chairman) exceed the votes, if any, cast against the Resolution by Members entitled to vote thereon either in person or, where proxies are allowed, by Proxy.
”Special Resolution” means a Resolution in respect of which (a) the intention to propose the Resolution as a Special Resolution has been duly specified in the Notice calling the Meeting or other intimation of the Resolution has been given to the Members; (b) the Notice required under the Act has been duly given of the Meeting; and (c) the votes cast in favour of the Resolution (whether on a show of hands or on a poll) are not less than three times the number of the votes, if any, cast against the Resolution by Members entitled to vote thereon either in person or, where proxies are allowed, by Proxy.

Hi.. Well an ordinary resolution is a resolution passed by the shareholders of a company by a simple or bare majority (for example more than 50% of the vote) either at a convened meeting of shareholders or by circulating a resolution for signature. A special resolution by comparison requires a greater vote threshold, which varies in different jurisdictions.

Items requiring Special Resolution are specifically provided in the Companies Act 1956, All other items may be passed by Ordinary Resolution.

IN CS PROFESSIONAL EXAM IN DRAFTING NOTICE OR RESOLUTUIONS YOU HAVE TO WRITE MANDATORY
TYPE OF MEETING
TYPE OF RESOLUTION
SO IT IS MUST TO WRITE CORRECT TYPE, OTHERWISE WHOLE RESOLUTIONS WILL BE IINOPERATIVE.
