Ordinary Resolution

Dear All,

My query is that in case when in any general meeting a resolution is to be passed by ordinary resolution and suppose the number of members who are voting against the resolution are more than fifty percent however the share held by such members is far less than those who are voting for the resolution. Than how could we prove that there is majority if we consider according to the voting rights, or is it that we should consider that the resolution is not passed due to lack of required majority.

Can a poll be demanded in case of ordinary resolution and if so than in that case the votes cast in favour of the resolution are ascertained according to the shareholding of the member and not according to the number of members.

Kindly guide.

If the resolution is passed by way of show of hands, then the resolution will be said to have been dissapproved by the members.

 

If a poll is demanded by the shareholders and the resolution is put to vote on poll, then and then only the shareholding comes into play.

Thanks Rasesh,

I case of poll do we have to consider the majority of no. of member or bare majority of shares is enough. Won't considering only the majority of votes prejudice the minority interest.

Regards,

Minal

In case of poll, shareholding has to be considered. It may be prejudicial to the interest of the minority.
