Taxability of rental income of the firm under which head??

There are 3 persons holding property in their individual names.

They form a partnership firm and introduce these properties into the firm without transferring the ownership.

These properties are being let out and rental income is earned by the firm.

Now this rental income should be charged as Income from House Property or Business Income and WHY in the hands of FIRM?

OWNERSHIP IS NOT TRANSFERRED.

Kindly provide relevant case laws, if any!!
