The boardroom battle between Invesco and Zee Entertainment Enterprises has taken another turn with The Bombay High Court on Thursday asking Zee to convene the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) as called by Invesco. The court has, however, added that the results of the EGM be kept in “abeyance” till it decides on the legality of the requisition. The EGM will be chaired by a competent person such as a retired high court judge, a senior counsel or someone from the corporate world, the order said. Zee will inform the court of the EGM date today. Invesco along with OFI Global China Fund had asked for an EGM last month to evict certain directors and make fresh appointments.
