it depends on the source of income he has. if he is getting fixed sum as salary from the firm then due date will be 31st july, 2010 or if his salary and other income is based on the profit of the firm then due date is 30th sept,2010.

Explanation 2 to Section 139(1) states as under:
Explanation 2.—In this sub-section, “due date” means,—
(a) where the assessee is—
(i) a company; or
(ii) a person (other than a company) whose accounts are required to be audited under this Act or under any other law for the time being in force; or
(iii) a working partner of a firm whose accounts are required to be audited under this Act or under any other law for the time being in force, the 30th day of September of the assessment year;
(b) in the case of a person other than a company, referred to in the first proviso to this sub-section, the 30th day of September of the assessment year;
(c) in the case of any other assessee, the 31st day of July of the assessment year.
it specifically states working partner. So due date is 31st July. I think this may be the most justifiable answer for ur query.
