of its partners in its own name to enforce its claim.

remaining partners rather than relying on the honesty of co-
partners.
- The retired partner is liable to all the acts of the firm dealing
with third parties before his retirement. The partner who is
retired from the partnership will be discharged from the
liabilities from the date of his retirement from partnership by
giving a public notice and effecting the necessary changes in
the register of firms. As per section 33 of partnership act, the
expelled partner will be treated in the same way when a partner
retires from the partnership.

the accounts of a dissolved firm or to enforce any right or power
