A.K. Nithyanandham v. Saraswthi Velusamy and Ors. - (High Court of Madras) (13 Aug 2015)

Plaintiff must establish shape and active functioning of partnership if made orally

MANU/TN/2527/2015

Civil

A right to participate in the profits of the trade does not, by itself, demonstrate the existence of a partnership; the relationship also depends on the intention and contract of the parties. Though the Court ascertained an agreement to share profits, it noted that the firm's business was primarily carried on by the Appellant, who also held much of the property in his own name. The Respondent had not averred that it was on her behalf the Appellant had done the same.
