Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Under Section 44 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, a court may order the dissolution of a firm on certain grounds, one of which is when the business of the firm cannot be carried on except at a loss. The other options (death, expiry of term, insolvency) generally lead to dissolution by operation of law or contract without mandatory intervention of the court, unless contested.
