28 September 2011 Hi Anonymous,

If you are talking about General Partnership under the 1890 Partnership Act and if you have not entered into a partnership deed, you cannot remove a partner.
You will have to dissolve the partnership and reform it again with the remaining partners.

28 January 2012 Yes it can be done if he is only a working partner and is given only the remuneration. If he is a regular partner by giving him notice by majority of partners, he can be removed
