https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=458275 Section 69(2) of the Partnership Act bars only civil suits to enforce contractual rights and does not extend to criminal prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. In a cheque dishonour case involving a partnership firm, Section 141 applies vicarious liability principles to firms as well as companies, so the firm must be arraigned as an accused when the cheque is issued on its behalf. Registration status of the firm does not change that requirement.
