Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a complex property inheritance scenario. An industrial plot initially allotted to a trading firm was later transferred to the proprietor. After the proprietor's death, a partition deed was executed among heirs and the proprietor's brothers, allocating the plot to one brother. The query questions the mutation process, ownership confusion between an individual and a firm, and whether the plot should have gone to legal heirs instead of the brother. The response clarifies that in a sole proprietorship, the business is an extension of the owner, and real estate cannot be owned separately. Therefore, the mutation in the firm's name, represented by the brother who received the plot via partition, is considered legally sound as he became the absolute owner.

On what basis does the Industrial Corporation allot the industrial plot to the person of the proprietary firm? On sale or otherwise? If on sale in the name of a proprietary firm, the legal heirs i.e. wife and children of the deceased have rights over it but not on brother? In the partition why did the brother add as a party? As per your query, the plot was allotted to a proprietary of the firm. Your query is not clear to me.

It was partitioned as per family arrangement subsequent to the death of the original allottee.
Thus the said Basha, who got the property mutated to his name, becomes an absolute owner of the plot.
Sole proprietorship are the simplest business form to create and operate under because they are an extension of the owner. Because sole proprietorship do not exist separate and apart from their owners, they are incapable of owning real estate on their own.
Therefore in my opinion there appears no legal infirmity in it.
