Court: Madhya Pradesh

Decided on: Jul-04-1983

Reported in: AIR1984MP110

B.C. Varma, J. 1. Respondent No. 1 (plaintiff No. 11 is a registered partnership firm of which the appellants and other respondents are partners. The firm deals in manufacture and sale of bidi and has extensive property. It has accounts in different banks.

One Durgsingh was a victim of a motor vehicle accident that took place on Chanderi-Shivpuri road on 8.8.1968 between 4 to 5 a.m. It was not disputed that the motor vehicle, a goods-truck, bearing No. M.P.G. 4912, belonged to appellant-Dwarka Prasad, a partner of the firm Radhakishan Shyamlal.
