Bombay and Mumbai are synonymous names of the city and will ever retain legal identity until banned by any statute, if made specifically to that effect.

thanks all but i was restricted to use the word bombay in PARTNERSHIP DEED

You are welcome, Mr. Yash.

M V Gupta (Expert) 20 April 2012
Who restrained you from using the word Bombay in the partnership deed. The deed will not become invalid because of the use of the Word Bombay.

Dear Yash,

Except in some Government departments and Maharashtra, even more than 80% of the Indian public may still not be knowing change of name of Bombay to Mumbai.

K.K.Ganguly (Expert) 20 April 2012
Similarly we call it 'High Court at Calcutta'. Nobody ever objected.

Use Mumbai instead of Bombay in every documents except those to address the High Court and sessions court.
