21 January 2014Hello All,
Our articles state that the general meeting can be called by giving 7 days notice.It also specifically mentions that the section 171 to 185 does not apply to the company.So this implies that we cannot call a meeting by giving a shorter notice of 3 days by form 22A under section 171(2)??
Thanks in advance

THe act gives us power to call shorter notice under section 171(2). As mentioned by me section 171 to 185 does not apply to the company as per our Articles of Association.Then can we call shorter notice still?????
Urgent!

Pl refer Sec.170(1)(ii). It clearly states that Sec.171 shall apply to a private company unless the articles of the company otherwise provide. Since in the given case Articles provide for 7 days notice, meeting with 3 days notice cannot be called even with the consent of all shareholders.
