As per the partnership deed, B limited was to operate the airport line for 30 years and thereafter handover it to A limited. After the commencement of commercial operation of the airport line, there arose conflict among the partners. This conflict led B Limited to serve notice to A Limited on 30.06.2011, conveying that they intends to stop the operation of airport line. The board of A Limited considered such termination notice as unlawful and hence sued B Limited. They also took complete control over the operation and maintenance of airport line.

The court concluded that termination notice served by B Limited was valid and within the terms of partnership deed.
