21-Mar-2012 , 02:17:27 pmDear Mr. Pawan As said my Learned friends, this is right the appointment can only be made as per provisions of section 224(6) by general body meeting only. In such a case first you need to take take resignation from retiring Auditor then call a EGM then pass a Ordinary Resolution for the Appointment of new Auditors in place of retiring auditors (who resigned). Any auditor apppointed in a casual vacancy shall hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting. If you need the Resolution or format of notice then let me know
