Ashoka Group vs Shri Hariram Buddhraja on 23 July, 2024
With respect,
we find ourselves in complete agreement with the principles
enunciated in Haldiram Bhujiawala [Haldiram Bhujiawala v.
Anand Kumar Deepak Kumar, (2000) 3 SCC 250] . Having regard
to the purpose Section 69(2) seeks to achieve and the interest
sought to be protected, the bar must apply to a suit for enforcement
of right arising from a contract entered into by the unregistered
firm with a third party in the course of business dealings with such
third party. If the right sought to be enforced does not arise from a
contract to which the unregistered firm is a party, or is not entered
into in connection with the business of the unregistered firm with a
third party, the bar of Section 69(2) will not apply."
