For the advice to Mr. K ---- Section 192 is applicable for approval of holding company also by passing resolution in general meeting. Section 192 doesnt say anything about board approval.
Now my doubt is - According to section 188 - In case any arrangement is entered into by director then approval of board is also required. and further whenever such arrangement is discussed at board meeting - director shall not participate in such board meeting.
Mr. K, BL Ltd and JS Ltd are related parties to each other as per section 2(76).
