Whether consumer or not?

She cannot be said to be a consumer of the development firm. If she has any grievence against the other partners in respect of accounts and her share of profits, the appropriate remedy would be to file a civil suit against them for rendition of accounts and claiming her share in the profits.

A partner can never be called a consumer in a partner ship firm as she is a part and  parcel of the partnership agreement

1.A partnership agreement is an agreement where in they become liable to both  profit and loss .

2.When the power of attorney has been handed over to the other partners  for execution of the development /Finances for raw materials /labour  etc it is based on trust . If she wanted to she should not have given the power of attorney only for the issues of cheques or bank transcations and should involved herself personally into it .

3. In the absence of a  profit and loss balance sheet and no auditing being  carried out  on what basis can the conclusion be drawn that she is a partner to only a share of 22 % of the profit and she is not liable for the  loss part of it .

4.Even if a civil suit is filed the other partners would argue that the value of the flat has been adjusted towards the profit and loss   as well as the token of 2 lacs . 

5. I presume she should be happy with what she has rather than wasting her time and spending her money on lawyers fees etc .

no she is not a consumer

she can move before the civil court for relief

agreed with Archana, stanley and sachin.

Consumer can be defind as a person who pays in lieu of services or products.

in this case she is receiving rather she paying.
