The Retiring partner should release his share of Rights in the immoveable Property of Firm by executing valid dissolution Deed and by paying required stamp duty as assessed by the SRO and Registration is preferable , release deed in favour of the Firm and continuing Partners . If the Relase of Retiring partners is legal & valid , the other partners and New partner can sell & mortgage.

The retiring partner has to execute a relinquishment deed which has to be registered with the local registrar/Sub registrar. If the relinquishment is not obtained than the retiring partner will have to sign when the continuing partners plan to mortgage, sell the partnership property.

Yes, the remaining partners can sell, mortgage such property without singing of retired partner/(s) provided that the procedure of retirement of the partner had been duly complied with according to the legal laws applicable thereon.
Which partner will be sign at the time of mortgage at FI?
As per laws applicable in India all the partners are required to execute the instrument of Mortgage on behalf of the Partnership Firm unless any one of the partner among them is duly empowered, for execution of the Mortgage Deed, by virtue of Power of Attorney executed by all the rest partners in his favour.
I hope this will meet with your requisitions.
