Bulakiwale i/b Ms. Kadu, for the Respondent Nos 4 to 7. CORAM: ANOOP V. MOHTA, J. DATED: 21st January, 2010 P.C. 1. In a partnership dispute between the partners, as there is arbitration clause, the petitioners who are the partners of the firm moved this arbitration petition under section 9 of the Arbitration and conciliation Act, l996 for interim relief and directions. 2. There is no dispute that by this Chamber Summons the legal heirs of one of the partners, the petitioners want to bring on record. The learned counsel, appearing for the contesting partners, submits that the legal heirs of the partners are not necessary as 2 there are no reliefs claimed against them. 3. Considering the undisputed position that this Chamber Summons is for bringing the legal heirs of the partners of a firm' which in my view is taken before me as in such cases all the partners in such dispute are the necessary partners especially when there is dispute even about the existence of partnership firm and if that be so, the legal heirs are brought on record at this initial stage of the proceeding. Under section 9, this can not be overlooked. In my view for proper adjudication, it is necessary and to avoid further complications in future, this Chamber Summons is allowed. No costs. ( ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.)
