(2003) 6 SCC 265

Decided On

9^th May 2003

Case Number

Civil Appeal No. 13337 of 1995

Bench

Bench: Shivraj V. Patil & K.G. Balakrishnan J.J.

Relevant Section

Section 32(2), 32(3) & 72 of Indian Partnership Act, 1932

Facts

The plaintiff filed two suits against the respondent. Respondent number 1 in both the suits is a partnership firm engaged in engineering works. Respondent numbers 2 to 4 are its partners. The first suit was filed to recover the amount of Rs. 59, 775.95/- with interest. The plaintiff alleged that a loan of Rs. 40,000/- was sanctioned in favor of the respondent on 5^th December 1974, for expansion of industry of the respondent. The loan was to be repaid after 9 months in installments. The respondent had also executed the requisite documents in favor of the plaintiff bank. Respondent number 2 & 3 in their written statement admitted that the respondent had borrowed Rs. 40,000/- from the appellant. The two respondents subsequently retired without giving any notice of this development to the appellant bank. The respondent defaulted on the payment of the loan. Trial Court held that respondents number 2 & 3 would not be liable for the suit claim & High Court upheld the decision of the Trial Court.

Another suit filed by the appellant against the respondents in Karnataka High Court alleged that the respondents were given an overdraft facility by the appellant bank; the respondent availed the facility & committed default in paying the same. Respondents raised similar contention as in the previous suit that the partnership was dissolved & respondent number 4 took entire liability. The contention was accepted by the Trial Court against respondents number 1 & 3 was passed. The plea was rejected by the High Court in which the appellant prayed that Decree shall be passed against all the respondents as all have joint & several liabilities. Hence, the plaintiff moved an appeal to the Hon’ble Supreme Court for the same.

Issue before the Court

Whether the retiring partner would be liable to pay for the liability incurred during partnership?

Whether respondents giving notice to the appellant bank regarding dissolution of the firm would absolve the retiring partner from dues?

Judgment

The appellant contended that all the respondents should be held jointly liable as they executed various documents to the said & had admitted its execution, the dissolution of the partnership firm will not affect their liability to discharge of the suit claim & inter se arrangements between the partners of the firm will not be binding on the appellant bank & as per clause 3 of Section 32 of the Act respondent number 2 & 3 cannot escape from the liability concerning the suit claim made by the appellant. In response, the respondent said as a prior notice was sent to the appellant bank about the dissolution of the firm & they did not raise any objection therefore, respondents numbers 2 & 3 are not liable for any under the suit as per clause 2 of Section 32 of the Act.

Hon’ble Supreme Court held that the appellant had every right to proceed against all the defendants present in the suit, Court also said that no public notice was given about the retirement of respondents number 2 & 3 from the partnership firm as envisaged under Section 32(3) of the Act. Court pointed out at one of the contentions made that the “dissolution of firm will not affect the respondents from liability retiring partners” by the appellant. Like the fact the appellant was aware of the dissolution of the partnership firm, as per section 32(2) of the Act, the liability of the retiring partner as against a third party would be discharged only if there was an agreement made by the retiring partners, the bank being the third party in this case & partners of the reconstituted firm, this was absent from the case expressly or impliedly.

Conclusion

Perhaps it is self-evident from the case that the creditor’s right normally will not be prejudiced by an agreement transferring an acquired liability from one partner to another in a partnership firm unless the creditor is made a party to the agreement. Otherwise, the agreement (regarding him) will be strictly res inter alias acta (transacted between other parties).

Case Number:

CA 1903

Equivalent Citation:

[1903] 1 K.B. 81

Bench:

Collins, M.R. and Methew, J.

Decided on:

19 November 1902

Relevant Act:

The Partnership Act 1890

Brief Facts and Procedural History:

In this case the defendant company is a partnership company with two partners, Mr Houston and Mr Strong, who represented the company. Mr Houston took care of the functioning of the company and Mr Strong was a sleeping partner. Mr Houston, acting within the scope of his authority, bribed the clerk of the plaintiff’s company and induced him to commit a breach of contract with the plaintiff as a result of which the clerk divulged some of the secret, important information of the plaintiff’s company. This act of Mr Houston was done without Mr Strong’s knowledge. The information was used by Mr Houston in a way to make the plaintiff company, his competitor, suffer the loss. Plaintiff sued both the partners of the defendant company for breach of contract under vicarious liability. The trial court said that both the partners are liable for breach of the contract. The case went to the Court of Appeal.

Contention:

Whether or not Mr Houston acted within the scope of his authority in obtaining the details of the plaintiff company?
Whether or not Mr Strong is liable for the wrongful act committed by Mr Houston?

The ratio of the Case:

The defendant’s counsel argued that gaining information about your competitor’s business is something that a businessman can do and hence, it is legal. So, what Mr Houston did is legal and that he is not liable for the breach of contract. The court agreed with this argument of the defence counsel and stated that Mr Houston acted as an agent and it is done within the scope of his authority, it is illegitimate and amounts to a breach of contract. This was based on the board risk principle, according to which if the principal is the one who will benefit from the acts of the agent, then he is also liable for the risks the agent goes through, while he is performing the acts delegated to him. In this case, the clerk was an agent of Mr Houston and so he is liable for the risk the clerk incurred, that is, the breach of contract, while delivering the information Mr Houston has asked for.

The decision of the Court:

The Court of Appeal upheld the order of the trial court and said that both the partners of the defendant company, Mr Houston and Mr Strong, are guilty of inducing breach of contract, even though it was committed by only one of them.

Abstract – The article will make the readers conscious of the heinous act, i.e., the domestic violence in India. The article talks about the rising cases of domestic violence during the lockdown in West Bengal and the role of the West Bengal Women’s Commission in curbing such menace.

INTRODUCTION

In India, domestic violence against women is dominantly prevalent, that is tried to conceal. We live in a patriarchal society where one in every three women is subject to domestic violence. According to a research, 45 percent of women in India are subjected to violence by their spouses. Domestic abuse is a largely unseen crime that occurs mostly behind closed doors.

During the lockdown, West Bengal saw an increase in domestic violence cases. Many women were subjected to domestic violence and physical abuse. Women had previously faced physical assaults, but the lockdown had exacerbated and worsened the situation.

Since the imposition of lockdown, more than seventy domestic violence cases have been reported to the commission. The number of complaints received during this period was higher than in the months preceding the lockdown.

Analysis

According to the state women’s commission, domestic violence cases in West Bengal have increased during the lockdown. Since the lockdown was imposed, the commission has witnessed a surge in reports of domestic violence. The complaints came from all over the state, in both rural and urban areas, including Kolkata.

National and International laws

Protection of Women against Domestic Violence Act 2005

This Act was promulgated to protect women against physical, sexual, and emotional abuses, all of which are widely specified under the Act. The Act not only talks about the protection of married women, but also women who are in live-in relationships with men. It is a must that woman should be free from all forms of violence.

Section 498 of IPC

“Whoever takes or entices away from any woman who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe is the wife of another man, from that man, or any person caring for her on behalf of that man, with the intent that she may have illicit intercourse with any person, or conceals or detains any such woman with that intent, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a period which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.”

Dowry prohibition Act, 1961

Anyone who provides, accepts or even asks dowry can be imprisoned for a half-year (i.e., six months) or fined up to Five Thousand Rupees under this rule.

CEDAW

CEDAW adopts a three-dimensional and practical approach based on the concept of substantive equality or gender equality. This goes beyond equal opportunity and legal language to consider the current state of women’s lives as the actual litmus test for whether or not equality has been attained.

The media still does not play an influential role in minimizing domestic violence against women. They fail to cover the incidents and spread those to the mass, taking place every day in the marginalized communities. Because the media serves as society’s eyes, ears, and limbs, it has the potential to significantly reduce violence against women.

ROLE OF MEDIA IN COVERING THESE ISSUES

The role of media should be to expose the shades of malice and spread awareness about the rights of the women. The media needs to be aware of the violence directed against women. Indeed, many women have said that the media’s coverage of an assault or other form of brutality resembled a second attack due to the insensitivity with which they used images, published names, and other invasions of privacy.

The media’s involvement in the issues of violence against women is essential both in terms of how it covers the matter and in terms of how it may be utilized to assist activists and governments in raising awareness and implementing necessary programme.

In general, the media lacks in instilling an extensive awareness of domestic violence in the public. As a result, many scholars believe that media portrayals of domestic violence are part of a hegemonic patriarchal worldview that obscures both the issue of domestic violence and the underlying social processes that generate it.

Case Laws

S.R Batra and Anr v. Smt. Taruna Batra

Referring to Sec17(1), 4Sec2(S) Of Domestic Violence Act, the Supreme Court held that:

Only the wife has the right to live in a joint household.

A house owned by a husband, a house rented by a husband, or a house that belongs to a husband’s joint family is considered a shared home.

The judgement further noted that, under section 19(1)(f) of the act, the claim for alternative accommodation may only be raised against the spouse and not against his in-laws or other relatives.

As a result of the facts of the case, it was determined that the wife could not claim a right of residency in the property belonging to her mother-in-law.

Dr Velusamy v. Patchaiammal

The court noted that the Act’s definition of “domestic relationship” in section 5 sec 2(f) includes not just marriage but also a relation “like marriage” in this case.

Because the term “relationship like marriage” isn’t defined in the Act, the court clarified its meaning. According to the court, not all living relationships qualify as “relationships like marriage,” which must meet the following criteria. In addition, the parties must have lived together in a “shared household.”

The couple must exhibit themselves as husband and wife to the rest of society. To marry, they must be of legal age. To engage in lawful marriage, they must meet all other requirements, including being unmarried.

Conclusion

The government must develop a comprehensive strategy and allocate sufficient funds to provide support services to survivors, ensure the application of domestic violence laws, and conduct public awareness campaigns emphasizing that domestic violence is a crime and that the state will take strict action against it. The judicial system must become more active and effective in bringing justice to victims and sufferers.
