individually.
(1) At a general meeting of a public company
or of a private company which is a subsidiary of a public company, a motion
shall not be made for the appointment of two or more persons as directors of
the company by a single resolution, unless a resolution that it shall be so
made has first been agreed to by the meeting without any vote being given
against it.
(2) A resolution moved in contravention of
sub-section (1) shall be void, whether or not objection was taken at the time

Provided that where a resolution so moved is
passed, no provision for the automatic re-appointment of the director retiring
by rotation in default of another appointment shall apply.
(3) For the purposes of this section, a motion
for approving a person's appointment, or for nominating a person for
appointment, shall be treated as a motion for his appointment.
