https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471975 Section 69(2) of the Indian Partnership Act bars an unregistered firm only when it seeks to enforce a contractual right against a third party under a contract entered into in the course of its business dealings. It does not prevent claims based on statutory or common-law rights, or claims where a contract merely forms the source of title. A declaration and injunction claim seeking avoidance of a sale deed for fraud, misrepresentation, and non-payment of consideration falls outside the bar where the property sale was independent of the firm's business. Such a plaint remains maintainable and is not liable to rejection under Order VII Rule 11(d) CPC. en-us Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 25 Sep 2026 14:59:14 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=471975 Section 69(2) of the Indian Partnership Act bars an unregistered firm only when it seeks to enforce a contractual right against a third party under a contract entered into in the course of its business dealings.
