Section 69(1) Indian Partnership Act | Registration at Filing Date Suffices for Suit Maintainability, Not Transaction Date : Punjab & Haryana HC

Unregistered firms can maintain suits under Section 69(1) of the Indian Partnership Act if registered by the filing date, regardless of registration status during the transaction. The Punjab & Haryana HC upheld a ₹3.89 lakh decree, clarifying that the critical date is filing, not the transaction period, easing compliance for businesses.
