This batch of appeals arises out of a remand by the learned Sub-Ordinate Judge of Kurnool of two suits filed by the plaintiff, one Venkatanarasa Reddi for dissolution of two partnerships entered into by his deceased younger brother, Hanumantha Reddi who died in February 1947. Hanumantha Reddi who is said to have been educated entered into partnerships with third parties to trade in timber and bamboos. Alleging that he and his younger brother constituted a joint family at. the time of the latter’s death, Venkatanarasa Reddi filed these two suits, O.S.Nos.130 of 1947 and 131 of 1947 in which he impleaded the partners of the business and Hanumantha Reddi’s widow, Narasamma as defendants. The District Munsif dismissed the two suits holding that Venkatanarasa Reddi and Hanumantha Reddi were divided in status from 1938 and that the suits were not maintainable. In appeal the learned Subordinate Judge held that Venkatanarasa Reddi and Hanumantha Reddi continued to be joint and that therefore Venkatanarasa Reddi was entitled to sue for dissolution of partnerships and for accounts if it was found under issue No.3 that Hanumantha Reddi had invested family funds in both the suit part
