Dear Client,

Lease is executed for the limited period of 9 years and with Jayamma not with partnership firm. So in this case ramesha has to entered with fresh lease if Parvathi interested.

No relief in law as Remesha was never the part of lease deed.

1. the lease and partnership are two different things

2. Jayamman gave a lease of the premises to Parvati

3. then Jayamma forms a partnership with his brother Nagaraja with latter holding 99% shares

4. how does the forming of partnership in any way relate to the giving of lease? Unless of course if the leased land was introduced and brought into the partnership firm and was to be considered as asset of the firm

5. assuming the leased land was to be considered as an asset of the firm - then the grant of extension of lease by the majority shareholder will depend on the terms of the partnership deed

6. mere fact of being a majority shareholder would not give right to that shareholder to do all acts without consent of the other partner, provided there is no agreement to the contrary

7. if the partnership is coming to end, then again the partnership deed will have to be looked into to ascertain how the partnership asset is to be treated

8. does on dissolution of partnership by efflux of time, the firms' asset go to the majority shareholder? - that can be ascertained from the deed itself

You are talking of two different subject here;

One is regarding lease agreement of the commercial place/shop

second is about the partnership firm.

The renewal of commercial lease agreement would depend on the willingness of the landowner to agree for that or not;

Regarding the partnership firm, if the deed states tht the firm will dissolve after a stipulate period or may be extended beyond that, then it depends on the resolution passed after a meeting of the board of directors and partners.

kindly read Jyothi - 01% as Jayamma - 01%

The percentage of share of the partners is not a concern, it will be decided on the basis of the partnership deed or articles of association or memorandum of association.

A meeting can be held to decide and resolve all such issues involving all the partners and share holders.

kindly read

are there any rights to raja to go to law as are there any rights to ramesha to go to law

If Nagaraj had sold his rights or shares to Ramesh, then he has nothing to claim from Ramesh or from the firm.

He cannot be benefited from any legal case also which is not maintainable since Nagaraj had already relinquished / sold his shares of the company .

are there any rights to ramesha to go to law

If the partnership firm is getting dissolved on the said date due to the expiration of the tenure of the firm and also the lease agreement is coming to a close, then the surviving partner can request for transfer of the lease agreement to his name from the date of expiration of the current lease agreement.

He can also start his new firm to do the same business from the same premises.

Dear Sir,

Continuation of lease depends upon the owners option. Firstly the lease was given to an individual but the proprietorship was converted into partnership as such it is for the owner to continue lease or take benefit of violation of implied conditions of lease. However land owner cannot ask you to vacate the premises without recourse in accordance with law.
