NARINDER KUMAR MALIK vs SURINDER KUMAR MALIK

The Supreme Court addressed a dispute between two brothers over a partnership property, holding that a suit for partition was maintainable despite the property being owned by a partnership firm.

The Court upheld the preliminary decree of partition passed by the trial court, allowing the brothers to settle the matter amicably through mediation, thus promoting familial harmony.
