Firm Ashok Traders And Anr. Etc vs Gurumukh Das Saluja And Ors. Etc

The Supreme Court addressed the disputes among partners of M/s Ashok Traders, focusing on the applicability of Section 69(3) of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, which bars suits by unregistered partners. The Court held that since Ajay Arora's name was not registered, his civil suit was not maintainable. The Court also examined the arbitration clause in the partnership deed and the implications of the unregistered partnership, ultimately ruling on the validity of the arbitration proceedings initiated by Group 'A'.
