For the details of persons behind a firm.. you can check it from the Registrar of firms if it is a registered one.. if not check it with sale tax dept., on the firm's name they will have details you require. If it is an unregistered firm you can go ahead on persons individually, behind the firm.

Section 69 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 creates a bar for institution of suit BY an unregistered firm but there is no prohibition of filing a suit AGAINST an unregistered firm. You may sue an unregistered firm. In fact a firm is collectively all the partners so the suit filed by you shall be deemed to have been filed against all the partners of the unregistered firm.
