(2.) SECTION 53 of the Partnership Act reads as under :

(3.) A perusal of the aforesaid provisions would show that after a firm is dissolved, an injunction can be granted to one of the partners either from using the firm name or from using any of the property of the firm for his own benefit. Present is a case which would be covered by the latter class i e. user of any property of the firm for the benefit of one of the partners. Both the courts below exercised jurisdiction vested in them in granting the injunction and I find no ground to interfere with the same. The revision petition is dismissed. No order as to costs.
