This query is : Resolved
One of my friend was admitted as a new partner with 5% profit sharing in a partnership firm of a construction company. His share of capital is INR 3.5 CR. However, 80% of his share was in cash transactions.
The other 4 partners have deceived him by refusing him his share of profits and do not recognize his investments. Admission of New Partnership DEED is not registered document. Additionally, they have intentionally misplaced his bills of expenses.
He fears that he may not get legal relief as there is no proof of these transactions.
Hon. Subject Matter Experts, what would be an apt legal remedy for him in such a case?
