What the Numbers Show
The voting data reveals a distinct pattern in shareholder participation based on resolution type. For standard administrative matters like financial statement adoption (Resolution 1) and dividend declaration (Resolution 2), promoter group participation was high, with 97.73% of their shares voted. However, for resolutions where promoters had a direct interest, such as the re-appointment of Ms. Sonali Mehta (Resolution 3) and Dr. Harshad Mehta's continuation (Resolution 8), promoter voting was nil, as required by SEBI regulations. In these cases, public institutions voted 100% in favour, while public others showed mixed support, with only 33.88% voting in favour for Resolution 3, though the overall majority remained sufficient for passage.
