When a firm is put to an end as between all the partners, that is called dissolution. Section 39 declares:Section 39. Dissolution of a firm.-The dissolution of partnership between all the partners of a firm is called the "dissolution of the firm".Thus dissolution is something different from the retirement of a partner, because in retirement the business is continued by one or more of the partners. Where immediately after dissolution, the firm is reconstituted and the business resumed by some of the partners, even if in the same name and place, that remains dissolution. Where, on the other hand, on the death of a partner, his legal heirs joined the firm in accordance with the provisions of the partnership deed, the firm would not stand dissolved, although its constitutional documents would have to be altered.MODES OF DISSOLUTION1.

That may not be possible but it may depend on the terms and provisions in the partnership agreement. However, the alternative may be the dissolution of the partnership, liquidation of all partnership assets, and distribution of shares to all partners according to their partnership agreement (or equally, if no agreement).
Partnerships can be dissolved for various reasons, including mutual agreement among partners, the expiration of a partnership term, or the achievement of the partnership's purpose. Other common causes include disagreements among partners, changes in business conditions, or the withdrawal or death of a partner. Legal or financial issues may also lead to dissolution. Ultimately, the specific terms outlined in the partnership agreement often dictate the process and conditions for dissolution.
Partners is the plural form of partner, and they make up a partnership.
When a partner abandons their partnership interest, it can impact the remaining partners and the partnership's operations. The remaining partners may have to take on additional responsibilities or financial burdens. The partnership may also need to reevaluate its structure and goals to account for the loss of the partner.
The individual responsible for winding up the affairs of a partnership upon its dissolution is known as the "liquidator" or "winding-up partner." This person is tasked with settling the partnership’s debts, distributing remaining assets to the partners, and ensuring that all legal obligations are fulfilled. Their role is crucial in ensuring a smooth and orderly dissolution process. Typically, the partnership agreement outlines how this individual is selected and their specific duties.
A limited partnership takes place when all partner are limited.
The Garner v. Murray rule applies in the context of partnership dissolutions, particularly when a partner's interest is being purchased by the remaining partners. It requires that the purchasing partners must buy out the departing partner's interest at its fair market value, taking into account the partnership's goodwill. However, this rule may not be applicable in cases where the partnership agreement explicitly outlines different terms for dissolution or buyouts, or if the partnership has different legal structures that dictate specific procedures. Additionally, if the partnership is being dissolved due to a court order or specific statutory provisions, the Garner v. Murray rule may not apply.
