Devilal vs Himat Ram And Ors. on 3 October, 1971
the principle laid down in Gajanand's case would, in my opinion, have full application even when the erstwhile partners are being sued. The case may not be literally covered by Section 47 of the Indian Partnership Act, but regard being had to the principle contained therein, there should be no difficulty in holding that the surviving partners even after dissolution represent the interest of the whole partnership including that of the deceased partners so far as it may be necessary to wind up the affairs of the partnership and to complete the transactions unfinished at the time of dissolution. Looked at from this angle. I am inclined to hold that the interest of the deceased Himmat Ram is sufficiently represented by the surviving partners who are on the record as respondents.
