The provision also does not require a fresh licence application in the new partnership's name before approval of the constitution change can be considered. Section 103 was treated as inapplicable because it concerns succession by death, not a voluntary change in partnership. Where the department was informed of the change and no disqualification of the incoming partner was found, rejection on a mere technicality was not justified. en-us Wed, 14 Dec 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 11:10:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=80152 A firm's gold dealer licence under Section 52 of the Gold (Control) Act, 1968 does not become automatically invalid merely because the partnership changes; the change may be approved by the Administrator without any requirement that approval must precede the change itself.
