In which of the following cases, the Supreme Court held that "the firm name is only a compendious way of describing the partners of the firm"?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Murlidhar v Chuni Lal held that a partnership firm is not a separate legal entity and its name is a compendious description of its partners. The Supreme Court reiterated the holding in Celina Coelho Pereira. In the rent context it does not mean every change in partners is harmless: actual parting with possession and the governing statutory subletting requirements still matter.
