Forbes – India-focused property firm Hirco Plc said on Monday hedge fund and shareholder Laxey Partners Ltd has sought a shareholder meeting to remove chairman and two other board members, and to appoint its nominees on Hirco board.
Laxey has also urged Hirco’s directors to consider appointing a new chairman independent of the Hiranandani family, the company said in a statement.
