Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of a second appeal in a partnership dissolution case, emphasizing that when a decree is single and indivisible, inconsistent decrees cannot be made against deceased partners and surviving partners. The Court noted that the appeal abated against deceased respondents as their legal representatives were not brought on record, thus preventing further proceedings on merits. The appeal was dismissed without costs, affirming the finality of the rights of the deceased partners.
