Special Resolution: Deletion of Clause 36 of Clause 3(b) in MoA
The agenda item, a special resolution, sought shareholder approval to delete Clause 36 from the company’s Memorandum of Association. This clause's removal is part of a broader effort by the management to streamline and update the company’s objectives in alignment with present business focus and regulatory clarity.
According to the scrutinizer’s report submitted by Mr. Babu Lal Patni, a practicing company secretary, the resolution received 43,153,047 votes in favour and only 77 votes against, reflecting 99.9998% approval.
