Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a partnership agreement and subsequent suits arising from it, particularly focusing on Section 69 of the Partnership Act, 1932, which bars suits by unregistered partnerships. The Court held that the appellant's suit for rendition of accounts was maintainable despite the respondent's objections, as the earlier decree did not preclude the current claims. The Court emphasized that the partnership was at will and could be dissolved by implication, thus allowing the appellant to seek her share of profits and other dues.
