V. Subramaniam vs Rajesh Raghuvandra Rao

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of sub-section (2A) of Section 69 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, which mandates that no suit for dissolution of an unregistered partnership can be instituted unless the firm is registered. The Court found that the amendment does not violate Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution, affirming the High Court's decision. The ruling clarifies the legal standing of unregistered partnerships in seeking dissolution and reinforces the necessity of registration for legal recourse.
