The reconstituted partnership firms as evidenced by both the instruments of partnership dated December 12, 1958, and December 10, 1959, are, therefore, entitled for registration and the Commissioner of Income-tax was wrong in cancelling the registration for both the assessment years, and the Tribunal in upholding the cancellation of registration for the assessment year 1961-62. For the above reasons, we answer both the questions in the affirmative and in favour of the assessee. The department will pay the costs to the assessee.
