Mr. C has already paid amount to Mr. B, duly appointed as Attorney by A for the sale of his property. If B has not performed his duty/liability it is between A & B to decide its consequences and C has nothing to do anything except showing the receipt on the part of B from him.

Principal should demand money from attorney and not from the purchaser who has paid the consideration to attorney.
