In Brief
This appeal concerns the executability of a partnership decree against the legal heirs of a deceased partner. The Supreme Court held that when a partnership dissolves on a partner's death, a decree obtained against the partnership cannot be executed against the deceased partner's legal heirs unless they: (1) were parties to the partnership deed, or (2) derived benefit from partnership assets. The Court upheld the Trial Court's order dismissing execution proceedings against the respondents-heirs, finding no error in the High Court's confirmation. The appeal was dismissed without costs.
