Could anyone help me on this...urgent

A public ltd company(not listed) has passed resolution for preferrential allotment of shares in Feb 2011. Collected share application money before March 31, 2011. It was decided by the directors unofficially to issue shares before 31.3.2011. Unfortunately forgot to call board meeting for allotment. Fake board meeting is not possible for the company. My querry is whether company secretary or other officials of the company can allot shares(can make records to that effect) before 31.3.2011 and subsequent ratification by the board?

Allotment of shares can be done only pursuant to the resolution passed by the Board of Directors of the Company. What you have mentioned is not possible.

In my opinion,u can obtain the consent of the Board of Directors by way of a Circular Resolution, in case it is not possible to show a fake Board Meeting. In the covering letter to the resolution, u can mention the fact that resolution is to be effective from (any date). Take note of the circular resolution at the next Board Meeting of the Company. Views of experts are solicited.........
