APPOINTMENT AND RESIGNATION OF DIRECTOR

A corporation is an artificial person which is intangible and invisible. For making any decision and to have knowledge and intention, a living person has a mind and hands by which he carries out his actions. But a corporate body being an artificial person has none of these. So it needs to act through a living person. The company’s business is entrusted in the hands of directors.
