There are three companies: Company A, B and C
Company A and B are sister concern (Company A is Holding Company)
Company A require to pay Company C a sum of Rs 1 lac
Company C require to pay Company B a sum of Rs 1 lac
Can Company A take the stand that there is no liability of Company A to pay to Company C since Company C is under obligation to pay the same amount to Company B, which is subsidiary of Company A.
