Please specify the exact doubt, below in highlighted text
Section 139(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 provides that every company shall, at the first annual general meeting appoint an individual or a firm as an auditor who shall hold office from the conclusion of that meeting till the conclusion of its sixth annual general meeting and thereafter till the conclusion of every sixth meeting. But in this regard it is to be noted that the company shall place the matter relating to such appointment of ratification by member at every Annual General Meeting.
In case the annual general meeting is not held within the period prescribed, the auditor will continue in office till the annual general meeting is actually held and concluded.

Therefore, Ninu shall continue to hold office till the conclusion of the annual general meeting.
