C.A. No. 736/1997

Summary of C.A. No. 736/1997 (Bhanwarlal v. Bhikam Chand) The Supreme Court dismissed the civil appeal on September 3, 2003. The appeal challenged a summary dismissal of a second appeal concerning partnership property ownership following firm dissolution in 1970. The trial court had decreed a suit for accounts but held that disputed properties belonged to individual partners in whose names they stood. The appellate court upheld this, citing the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988. The Supreme Court found no substantial question of law and affirmed dismissal, holding the trial court's evidence-based findings were not perverse, with no order as to costs.
