Dishonor of Cheque - legally enforceable liability of a non-existent partnership firm - dissolution of partnership firm - obligation upon the partners - The question of applicability of Section 45 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, is only a question of law and such a question could be raised at any stage of the case and also in appeal. In fact, the learned Trial Court itself should have considered this aspect of the matter, even though it was not raised by or on behalf of the present appellant because it is the duty of any Court of Law to find out the truth and to that end, examine the applicability of the relevant provisions of the Law to the facts of the particular case which it is called upon to decide. - HC
