According to the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, a valid partnership requires an agreement between persons to share the profits of a business. The business must be carried on by all partners or by any of them acting for all, establishing mutual agency. This relationship is founded on a contract between the partners.

A partnership is a business relation with profit motive creating legal rights between partners. Co-ownership is merely joint ownership of an asset without a business purpose or automatic legal identity. The fundamental difference lies in the presence of a business and the consequent legal implications.

Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) is increasingly being integrated into India's judicial system to enhance access to justice. It leverages digital technology to provide a faster, more cost-effective alternative to traditional court litigation. This growth is pivotal for reducing case backlogs and making the legal process more convenient for citizens.
