29 November 2012 In case Company A ltd (Public company) gives loan to company B ltd (another Public company)having no holding or subsidary relationship. Both companies have a common director X. Is it necessary to take pre approval.

My query is because upon reading section 295(1), I feel section 295 is not applicable for giving loan to a Public co by another public co (having no holding or subsidary relationship),even though they have a common director.

Can you please highlight under which sub clause the above case falls under section 295 (1) ?
