A common issue in partnership firms! When one partner refuses to share access to accounts and books after dissolution, other partners can take the following steps: 1. _Communication_: Try to resolve the issue amicably through discussion and negotiation. 2. _Partnership Deed_: Refer to the partnership deed or agreement, which may have clauses related to account access and dispute resolution. 3. _Legal Notice_: Serve a legal notice to the partner in possession, requesting access to accounts and books. 4. _Arbitration_: If the partnership deed provides for arbitration, initiate the process to resolve the dispute. 5. _Court Intervention_: File a suit in court to seek access to accounts and books, and possibly appointment of a receiver to manage the firm's assets. 6. _Seek Professional Help_: Engage a lawyer or a chartered accountant to assist in resolving the matter. Additionally, consider: - _Section 41_ of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932: Allows for an audit of accounts and books. - _Section 45_: Provides for the appointment of a receiver to manage the firm's assets. Remember to act promptly to protect your interests and resolve the dispute efficiently.
