My question is is it justified for a company to prohibit a Proxy of a share holder from speaking at AGM ? Can an Indian Public limited company do this as per Indian Company law in India ?

Section 176 of the Companies Act, 1956 deals with the provisions related to proxy. According to section 176 any member of company, entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the company, shall be entitled to appoint any person (whether a member or not) as his/her proxy to attend and vote instead of himself at a General Meeting (GM).


Proxy does not speak at the meeting.
