Rajendran And Others vs Shankar Sundaram And Others

The Supreme Court held that under the Partnership Act, 1932, partners can bind the firm in transactions, and the liability of partners is joint and several. The Court found that the High Court erred in dismissing the plaintiff's application for interim relief under Order XXXVIII Rule 5 of the Code of Civil Procedure, as the cheque issued in the firm's name indicated a prima facie case for the partnership's liability. The Court reversed the High Court's decision and allowed the plaintiff's application for attachment.
