4. The defendant however, even thereafter, started claiming the status
Eviction of partners from unregistered firms must adhere to statutory provisions of the Indian Partnership Act regarding legal standing and misrepresentation in earlier suits.
The court held that a partner's possession of dissolved firm property does not create ownership rights against co-owners, and claims of adverse possession are not maintainable.
The appellate court ruled that a plaintiff must clarify the status of possession and seek a declaration of ownership to recover possession, failing which the suit is not maintainable.
