History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c63.734

v4.c63.734

⁸⁰⁶ बहूनां संमतो यस्तु दद्यादेको धनं नरः । करणं कारयेद्वापि सर्वैरेव कृतं भवेत् ॥ परीक्षकाः साक्षिणस्तु त एवोक्ताः परस्परम् । सन्दिग्धेष्वर्थे वञ्चनायां न चेद्विद्वेषसंयुताः ॥ यः कश्चिद्वञ्चकस्तेषां विज्ञातः क्रयविक्रये । शपथेः सोपि शोध्यः स्यात् सर्ववादेष्वयं विधिः ॥ बृह. q. by व्य. म. p. 200, वि. र. pp. 113, 123, व्य. प्र. p. 299; अपरार्क p. 832 has all these, ascribes the first to कात्या. and reads ऋणं च कारये०. What is meant is that when one partner raises an objection they have to decide what is to be done by a majority (and so they are judges in their business). Vide sections 12 and 18 of the Indian Partnership Act as to the decision by the view of majority and as to agency of partners.
