Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to modify the First Appellate Court's order regarding the dissolution of a partnership firm under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932. The Court emphasized that mutual distrust and failure to provide accounts by one partner justified the dissolution of the partnership. The Court affirmed that the legal representatives of the deceased parties were correctly substituted in the proceedings, ensuring continuity of the suit as per the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.
