Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellants' appeal regarding the rejection of the plaint under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC, emphasizing that the first plaintiff's partnership was not registered at the time of filing the suit, rendering it invalid. The Court clarified that subsequent registration does not retroactively cure the defect of non-registration at the time of the suit. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, reinforcing the principle that a partnership must be registered to maintain a suit under the relevant provisions of law.
