The book contains an incisive analysis of the law and practice relating to the holding of meetings of the board, various committees constituted by the Board and general meetings of the members including meetings held specifically under the statute for different stakeholders. The book explains lucidly the paradigm shift which has been brought about in the Companies Act, 2013 as compared to the 1956 Act in the matter of conducting meetings, use of audio visual means for attending meetings etc.
The book will be of immense value to the professional fraternity as well as those aspiring to enter the profession, company directors, academicians as also the dilettante. The book should enable the professionals to organize meetings in a systematic manner as practical insights have been provided on these aspects, given the author's four-decade long interface with the Industry.
