Agreement deeds 12557 views 12 replies

Hi,
 In a registered Partnership Firm A,B & C are the Partners. Partnership has been created under 'At Will' and 'A' being the Managing Partner. The Partner 'C' is not committed to his work as he himself engaged with other businesses and also, not invested any amount as mentioned in the partnership deed and his code of conduct is not good as well.

 Though sending 'N' number of legal Notices (via Registered Post to his Residential address) and Reminders, he didn't even participate in any of the General Meeting or Extraordianry General Meetings which was arranged by the other 2 partners on behalf of the Firm to show cause for the grounds mentioned above. Since he neither turned up in person nor send a proxy, the other two 'A' and 'B' (majority of the partners) have decided to exercise of the power to expel that 'C' parnter under Section-33, Indian Partnership Act, 1932, and also sent a Notice for the same to the concerned. Also, Minutes of the Meeting has been prepared and special resolution has been passed by the majority of the partners to expel the 'C'.

  Here, with regard to expulsion, I would like to know whether both partners, 'A' & 'B', has to give public notice in any of the vernacular newspaper BEFORE registered with Registrar of Firms about expulsion OR AFTER registering about expulsion of Partner, the other two has to give the public notice? Or Are we need to get a Court order for this? Or we need to publish in Government Gazette? Or Is there any Proceduure/Guidelines/Order to be followed? Kindly clarify me.

 Appreciate your immediate respond.
 Thanks in advance!

Afterfiling the removal of partner from the firm before the Registrar, you can issue the Paper public notice.  It is only for precaution not mandatory.  You need not go for Gazzette publication.

Dear Mr. Lankareddy,

Thanks a lot for your immediate respond.

Since Partners 'A' & 'B' are awaiting a repsonse from DR (Distrct Registrar) of Firms regarding the Expulsion / Removal of Partner 'C', is that been advisable now to give the paper public notice or they need to wait for the approval from Registrar of Firms. How we can go forward on this? Pls let me know in detail.

Is that been sufficient to give the Public Notice by the other two continuing partners 'A' & 'B' (or) it has to be given only by an Advocate. Kindly advise.

Thanks, once again!

It is better to wait til the approval of Registrar. You can advice them they need not go Advocate for giving caution notice to the public in paper. It is their option. Going throgh Advocate/Professional certainly adds the value.

Thanks.

@ Mr. Siva, as section 33 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 majority of the partners cannot expel a partner unless the  terms of expulsion is provided in the partnership firm.

A firm may dissolved instead.

Suppose if the firm is unregistered. And a partner is ready to quit the firm. What is the procedure to remove him? What agreement he should sign?

Write a deed of retirement. The consent of the retiring partner shall be free otherwise the retirement deed will be void.

Since the partners are not taking recourse to a court of law, the non-registration of the partnership deed does not make any difference.

Ok thank you sir.

If there is only two partners in the firm where one gets retired Will the firm automatically gets dissolved Or we can add a new partner? For adding a new partner what shall be the procedure?

 

Partnership is a mutual understanding between partners. If there are only two partners, how one partner alone can take a decision to retire? If both the partners agree, the firm may be dissolved or a new partner may be admitted first and the partner wishing to retire can do so. Otherwise there is no meaning in partnership business.

Mr. Murthy in this forum only advice or direction can be given and not the entire work. Consult with any expert for the procedure.

Please suggest me what is the procesure to removie a partner from a regestred partnership firm. which  the partnership firmed with two partners. just let me know the process

Regards,

Reddy.
