Partnership shuru karna easy lagta hai: “chalo milke business karte hain.” Problem tab shuru hoti hai jab profits, losses, effort aur control pe disagreement aa jata hai. Partnership disputes me sabse important document hota hai – partnership deed. Agar properly draft hua ho, to bohot saare answers already usme hote hain.
Typical issues: profit-sharing, capital contribution, new partner entry, retirement, dissolution, bank access, misuse of funds, client poaching, etc. Jab trust toot jaye, to civil remedies do track pe hoti hain:
- Accounting & settlement – court se demand ki jati hai ki books audit ho, true accounts nikle, aur har partner ka share clear ho.
- Dissolution of partnership – jab relationship irreparable ho, to firm close karke assets/liabilities ka final settlement karwana logical hota hai.
Agar koi partner firm ka paisa siphon kare, property apne naam kare, ya books hide kare, to injunctions, asset freeze aur specific directions liye ja sakte hain. Kabhi-kabhi arbitration clause hota hai deed me, jisse matter court ke bahar arbitrator ke paas chala jata hai.
Lesson simple: partnership deed ko “just formality” na samjho. Roles, exit, dispute resolution, death/retirement, everything clear likha ho to breakup ka dard thoda manageable ho jata hai.
