Dish TV EGM: Shareholders reject Jawahar Goel’s reappointment as MD

The shareholders of direct-to-home (DTH) company Dish TV on Friday rejected the special resolutions that were part of the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) agenda. These included re-appointments of Jawahar Goel as managing director (MD) and Anil Dua as whole-time director of the company.

The appointment of R C Venkateish as an independent director of the Essel group entity was also rejected.

However, Goel stays as non-executive director of the company. While Dua remains the CEO of the firm, a company filing to the stock exchanges said on Friday. The rejection comes amid attempts by a Dish TV promoter group entity to restrain YES Bank, the largest shareholder, from voting at the EGM.
