Judgement

Appeal (No. 29 of 1923) from a decree of the High Court (May 19, 1919) reversing a decree of the District Judge of Delhi.

The appellant sued the respondent for a declaration that a partnership between them was dissolved, and for accounts, and other relief. The respondent pleaded that it was a term of the partnership (which was verbal) that there should be no dissolution without his consent, he denied the alleged terms of the partnership, and further alleged specified acts of misconduct by the plaintiff in relation to the books of account, and the business of the partnership; he contended that the respondent was not entitled to any relief.

The District Judge of Delhi, who tried the suit, found that no time had been fixed for the duration of the partnership, and that it had been duly determined by the plaintiff by notice. He further found that certain entries in the books of account were forgeries by the plaintiff, and that other entries as to interest were wrong. He made a preliminary decree declaring the shares of the partners in the
