Court may not order for dissolution of a partnership firm out of which of the following grounds:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → On the death of a partner
The court dissolves a firm only on a suit filed by a partner and only on the grounds listed in the Partnership Act. Death of a partner is not one of them: subject to the partners’ contract, it dissolves the firm by itself as a contingency, without any order of the court.
Option (1) When a partner become insane — A ground for dissolution by the court. Insanity of a partner is ground (a).
Option (2) When a partner becomes permanently incapable of performing his duties as a partner — A ground for dissolution by the court. This is ground (b).
Option (3) When the business of the firm cannot be carried on except at a loss — A ground for dissolution by the court. This is ground (f).
Option (4) On the death of a partner — Correct. Death is a contingency on which the firm is dissolved by itself, so the court need not order it.
