File petition for rejection of plaint. If the firm is not made a party then suit would ultimately fail.

It depends upon the facts and the relief sought in the plaint itself. Firm is not mandatory party in all cases. It may be necessary which shall be treated an error and it can be got cured with the permission of the court but the suit cannot be got dismissed solely on that ground.
