SHARAD VASANT KOTAK vs RAMNIKLAL MOHANLAL CHAWDA

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of amendments to a partnership deed under Section 69(2A) of the Indian Partnership Act, holding that changes in the partnership deed do not affect the registration of the firm, thus allowing a partner to institute a suit for dissolution. The Court clarified that the constitutional validity of Section 69(2A) was not initially raised but could be challenged through amendments. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision to permit the amendments and maintain the suit's validity.
