Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Under Section 41 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, a firm is compulsorily dissolved if the business of the firm becomes illegal or prohibited by law.In contrast, insanity or business losses require a partner to apply to the court (dissolution by court under Section 44), and a partner's death is a conditional contingency (Section 42).
