Motion
Motion means a proposal to be discussed at a meeting by the members. A resolution may be passed accepting the motion, with or without modifications or a motion may be entirely rejected. A motion, on being passed, as a resolution becomes a decision. A motion must be in writing and signed by the mover and put to the vote of the meeting by the chairman. Only those motions, which are mentioned in the agenda to the meeting, can be discussed at the meeting. However, motions incidental or ancillary to the matter under discussion may be moved and passed. Generally, a motion is proposed by one member and seconded by another member.
The motions proposed in a general meeting of a company are decided on the votes of the members of the company.
The Voting may be:
· Voting by a show of hands
· Voting by poll
Voting by a show of hands (Secs . 177 and 178). At any general meeting, motions put to vote are in the first instance decided by a show of hands, unless a poll is demanded (sec. 177) in taking a vote by show of hands. The duty of the chairman is to count the hands raised and to declare the result accordingly, without regard to the number of votes that a member raising the hand possesses. Proxies cannot be used on a show of hands [Earnest v. Loma Gold Mines. (1906) 2 Ch. 572.]
