1. To remedy this you may file a suit for permanent injunction against your partner to restrain him from continuing the business he has commenced and also seek damages for breach of trust.

2. Furthermore, as he tried to pass off your product as his you may file a criminal case for cheating and breach of trust under sections 406 and 420 IPC.

If his activities are violating the conditions of articles of association you can issue notice for dissolution of partnership firm and recovery action may be initiated if there was any fraudulent transaction besides lodging a criminal complaint with police.
