In Brief
This case concerns a dispute over the dissolution of a partnership firm and the settlement of partnership accounts following the death of a partner. The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decision requiring the surviving partners to settle accounts and make payments to the deceased partner's legal heirs. The Court dismissed the appeal but directed the parties to attempt settlement through court-sponsored mediation before proceeding to final decree on the monetary claims.
