Any question of taking in or retirement or removal of a partner would be within the purview of the partnership deed entered into between the partners. If there is no partnership deed then provisions of the Indian Partnership Act would govern w.r.t. the removal/dissolution/retirement of a partner. A partner can not be expelled from a firm by any majority of the partners, unless the agreement of partnership provides so; or when there is a case of charge on him having acted against the interest of the partnership. However in either case ,retirement or expulsion, he shall have a right of full and fare final accounting and accordingly to give to or take from the firm.

And in either case of fore going event,his rights and liabilities shall be governed for future as provided in subsection (2)to (4)of section 32 of the partnership Act.

What is the legal remedy to this ? How can we remove him from the business, as he has every right in the business and the property ? Health and moral problems apart, I need your legal opinion on this point.

As you said that your brother is suffering from mental stability and his tantrums are beyond tolerance, it is not advisable to perform business keeping him as a partner anymore, however you cannot even remove him from the partnership since he has rights in the business. You can get a medical certificate regarding his worsening mental health condition and mental inability to take any decision in the company affairs. With this certificate, you may apply for court guardianship, get a court guardian appointed to take care of all his needs including the business and his properties.

Will an FIR with the police will be required, before taking any legal action ?

Tantrums means a violent demonstration of rage or frustration; a sudden burst of ill temper or an emotional outburst like an adamant child; It is short lived, in fact the individual even wont be able to realise what is doing during such circumstances. Therefore do not take any such legal action, he is like a child, so bear with his tortures.
